Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/359,744/945
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 60,744
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,744 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 359,945 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 359,945 is 339255 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,744
2 | 60, 744 |
2 | 30, 372 |
3 | 15, 186 |
5, 62 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 744
List of positive integer factors of 744 that divides 744 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,31,62,93,124,186,248,372,744
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,744 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,744 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,945
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 339255
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/339255
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/359,744/945 is 12/339255
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 359,945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,945) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,945) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,945) = ( 359 × 945 ) / 1
LCM(359,945) = 339255 / 1
LCM(359,945) = 339255
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
