Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 480/89,1719/842
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 480,1719
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 480,1719 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 89,842 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 89,842 is 74938 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 480,1719
3 | 480, 1719 |
160, 573 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 1719
List of positive integer factors of 1719 that divides 1719 without a remainder.
1,3,9,191,573,1719
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 480,1719 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 480,1719 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,842
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74938
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/74938
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/89,1719/842 is 3/74938
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 89,842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,842) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,842) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,842) = ( 89 × 842 ) / 1
LCM(89,842) = 74938 / 1
LCM(89,842) = 74938
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
