Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 472/23,1056/311
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 472,1056
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 472,1056 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,311 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,311 is 7153 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 472,1056
2 | 472, 1056 |
2 | 236, 528 |
2 | 118, 264 |
59, 132 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 472,1056 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 472,1056 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7153
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/7153
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 472/23,1056/311 is 8/7153
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 23,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,311) = ( 23 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(23,311) = 7153 / 1
LCM(23,311) = 7153
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
