Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 561/802,724/216
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 561,724
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 561,724 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 802,216 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 802,216 is 86616 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 561,724
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,181,362,724
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 561,724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 561,724 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 802,216
2 | 802, 216 |
401, 108 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 401 x 108 = 86616
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86616
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 561/802,724/216 is 1/86616
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 802,216 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(802,216) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(802,216) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(802,216) = ( 802 × 216 ) / 2
LCM(802,216) = 173232 / 2
LCM(802,216) = 86616
