Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 481/655,2678/171
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 481,2678
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 481,2678 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 655,171 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 655,171 is 112005 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 481,2678
13 | 481, 2678 |
37, 206 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

1,13,37,481
Factors of 2678
List of positive integer factors of 2678 that divides 2678 without a remainder.
1,2,13,26,103,206,1339,2678
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 481,2678 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 481,2678 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 655,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/112005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/655,2678/171 is 13/112005
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 655,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(655,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(655,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(655,171) = ( 655 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(655,171) = 112005 / 1
LCM(655,171) = 112005
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
