Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 429/60,638/160
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 429,638
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 429,638 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,160 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,160 is 480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 429,638
11 | 429, 638 |
39, 58 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

Factors of 638
List of positive integer factors of 638 that divides 638 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,29,58,319,638
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 429,638 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 429,638 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,160
2 | 60, 160 |
2 | 30, 80 |
5 | 15, 40 |
3, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 8 = 480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/60,638/160 is 11/480
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 60,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,160) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,160) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(60,160) = ( 60 × 160 ) / 20
LCM(60,160) = 9600 / 20
LCM(60,160) = 480
