Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 48/653,208/635
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 48,208
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 48,208 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 653,635 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 653,635 is 414655 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,208
2 | 48, 208 |
2 | 24, 104 |
2 | 12, 52 |
2 | 6, 26 |
3, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,4,8,13,16,26,52,104,208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,208 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 653,635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 414655
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/414655
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/653,208/635 is 16/414655
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 653,635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(653,635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(653,635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(653,635) = ( 653 × 635 ) / 1
LCM(653,635) = 414655 / 1
LCM(653,635) = 414655
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
