Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 480/70,390/962
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 480,390
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 480,390 is 30 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,962 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,962 is 33670 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 480,390
2 | 480, 390 |
3 | 240, 195 |
5 | 80, 65 |
16, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 = 30

1,2,3,5,6,10,13,15,26,30,39,65,78,130,195,390
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,390 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,390 is 30.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,962
2 | 70, 962 |
35, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 35 x 481 = 33670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 30/33670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/70,390/962 is 30/33670
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 70,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,962) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,962) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(70,962) = ( 70 × 962 ) / 2
LCM(70,962) = 67340 / 2
LCM(70,962) = 33670
