Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 460/779,472/884
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 460,472
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 460,472 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 779,884 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 779,884 is 688636 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 460,472
2 | 460, 472 |
2 | 230, 236 |
115, 118 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 472
List of positive integer factors of 472 that divides 472 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,59,118,236,472
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 460,472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 460,472 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 779,884
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 688636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/688636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 460/779,472/884 is 4/688636
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 779,884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(779,884) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(779,884) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(779,884) = ( 779 × 884 ) / 1
LCM(779,884) = 688636 / 1
LCM(779,884) = 688636
