Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 428/95,872/9472
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 428,872
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 428,872 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 95,9472 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 95,9472 is 899840 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 428,872
2 | 428, 872 |
2 | 214, 436 |
107, 218 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

List of positive integer factors of 872 that divides 872 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 428,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 428,872 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 95,9472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 899840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/899840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 428/95,872/9472 is 4/899840
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 95,9472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(95,9472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(95,9472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(95,9472) = ( 95 × 9472 ) / 1
LCM(95,9472) = 899840 / 1
LCM(95,9472) = 899840
