Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 468/27,356/626
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 468,356
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 468,356 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,626 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,626 is 16902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 468,356
2 | 468, 356 |
2 | 234, 178 |
117, 89 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 356
List of positive integer factors of 356 that divides 356 without a remainder.
1,2,4,89,178,356
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 468,356 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 468,356 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,626
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/16902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 468/27,356/626 is 4/16902
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 27,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,626) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,626) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,626) = ( 27 × 626 ) / 1
LCM(27,626) = 16902 / 1
LCM(27,626) = 16902
