Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 488/69,4392/280
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 488,4392
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 488,4392 is 488 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 69,280 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 69,280 is 19320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 488,4392
2 | 488, 4392 |
2 | 244, 2196 |
2 | 122, 1098 |
61 | 61, 549 |
1, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 61 = 488

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 488,4392 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 488,4392 is 488.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,280
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 488/19320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/69,4392/280 is 488/19320
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 69,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,280) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,280) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,280) = ( 69 × 280 ) / 1
LCM(69,280) = 19320 / 1
LCM(69,280) = 19320
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
