Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 489/24,402/5576
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 489,402
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 489,402 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,5576 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,5576 is 16728 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 489,402
3 | 489, 402 |
163, 134 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 402
List of positive integer factors of 402 that divides 402 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,67,134,201,402
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 489,402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 489,402 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,5576
2 | 24, 5576 |
2 | 12, 2788 |
2 | 6, 1394 |
3, 697 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 697 = 16728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 489/24,402/5576 is 3/16728
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 24,5576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,5576) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,5576) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(24,5576) = ( 24 × 5576 ) / 8
LCM(24,5576) = 133824 / 8
LCM(24,5576) = 16728
