Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 481/72,406/2320
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 481,406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 481,406 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,2320 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,2320 is 20880 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 481,406
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 406
List of positive integer factors of 406 that divides 406 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 481,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 481,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,2320
2 | 72, 2320 |
2 | 36, 1160 |
2 | 18, 580 |
9, 290 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 290 = 20880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 481/72,406/2320 is 1/20880
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 72,2320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,2320) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,2320) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,2320) = ( 72 × 2320 ) / 8
LCM(72,2320) = 167040 / 8
LCM(72,2320) = 20880
