Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 488/668,1845/301
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 488,1845
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 488,1845 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 668,301 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 668,301 is 201068 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 488,1845
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 488,1845 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 488,1845 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 668,301
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 201068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/201068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/668,1845/301 is 1/201068
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 668,301 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(668,301) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(668,301) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(668,301) = ( 668 × 301 ) / 1
LCM(668,301) = 201068 / 1
LCM(668,301) = 201068
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
