Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 470/726,130/507
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 470,130
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 470,130 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 726,507 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 726,507 is 122694 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 470,130
2 | 470, 130 |
5 | 235, 65 |
47, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 470,130 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 470,130 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 726,507
3 | 726, 507 |
242, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 242 x 169 = 122694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/122694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 470/726,130/507 is 10/122694
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 726,507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(726,507) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(726,507) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(726,507) = ( 726 × 507 ) / 3
LCM(726,507) = 368082 / 3
LCM(726,507) = 122694
