Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 476/191,384/979
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 476,384
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 476,384 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 191,979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 191,979 is 186989 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 476,384
2 | 476, 384 |
2 | 238, 192 |
119, 96 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 476,384 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 476,384 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 191,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/186989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 476/191,384/979 is 4/186989
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 191,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(191,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(191,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(191,979) = ( 191 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(191,979) = 186989 / 1
LCM(191,979) = 186989
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
