Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 478/31,9890/178
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 478,9890
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 478,9890 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,178 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,178 is 5518 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 478,9890
2 | 478, 9890 |
239, 4945 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,5,10,23,43,46,86,115,215,230,430,989,1978,4945,9890
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 478,9890 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 478,9890 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,178
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 478/31,9890/178 is 2/5518
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 31,178 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,178) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,178) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,178) = ( 31 × 178 ) / 1
LCM(31,178) = 5518 / 1
LCM(31,178) = 5518
