Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 44/477,378/407
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 44,378
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 44,378 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 477,407 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 477,407 is 194139 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 44,378
2 | 44, 378 |
22, 189 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,27,42,54,63,126,189,378
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 44,378 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 44,378 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 477,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194139
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/194139
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 44/477,378/407 is 2/194139
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 477,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(477,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(477,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(477,407) = ( 477 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(477,407) = 194139 / 1
LCM(477,407) = 194139
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
