Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 44/406,656/721
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 44,656
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 44,656 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 406,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 406,721 is 41818 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 44,656
2 | 44, 656 |
2 | 22, 328 |
11, 164 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,656 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,656 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 406,721
7 | 406, 721 |
58, 103 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 58 x 103 = 41818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/41818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/406,656/721 is 4/41818
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 406,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(406,721) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(406,721) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(406,721) = ( 406 × 721 ) / 7
LCM(406,721) = 292726 / 7
LCM(406,721) = 41818
