Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 532/60,640/555
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 532,640
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 532,640 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,555 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,555 is 2220 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 532,640
2 | 532, 640 |
2 | 266, 320 |
133, 160 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,128,160,320,640
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 532,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 532,640 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,555
3 | 60, 555 |
5 | 20, 185 |
4, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 4 x 37 = 2220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 532/60,640/555 is 4/2220
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 60,555 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,555) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,555) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(60,555) = ( 60 × 555 ) / 15
LCM(60,555) = 33300 / 15
LCM(60,555) = 2220
