Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 444/25,720/3578
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 444,720
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 444,720 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,3578 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,3578 is 89450 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 444,720
2 | 444, 720 |
2 | 222, 360 |
3 | 111, 180 |
37, 60 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 444,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 444,720 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,3578
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/89450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/25,720/3578 is 12/89450
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 25,3578 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,3578) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,3578) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,3578) = ( 25 × 3578 ) / 1
LCM(25,3578) = 89450 / 1
LCM(25,3578) = 89450
