Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 442/73,310/4615
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 442,310
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 442,310 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,4615 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,4615 is 336895 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 442,310
2 | 442, 310 |
221, 155 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,13,17,26,34,221,442
Factors of 310
List of positive integer factors of 310 that divides 310 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,31,62,155,310
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 442,310 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 442,310 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,4615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 336895
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/336895
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 442/73,310/4615 is 2/336895
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 73,4615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,4615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,4615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,4615) = ( 73 × 4615 ) / 1
LCM(73,4615) = 336895 / 1
LCM(73,4615) = 336895
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
