Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 608/40,368/626
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 608,368
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 608,368 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,626 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,626 is 12520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 608,368
2 | 608, 368 |
2 | 304, 184 |
2 | 152, 92 |
2 | 76, 46 |
38, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,4,8,16,23,46,92,184,368
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 608,368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 608,368 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,626
2 | 40, 626 |
20, 313 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 313 = 12520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/12520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 608/40,368/626 is 16/12520
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 40,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,626) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,626) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,626) = ( 40 × 626 ) / 2
LCM(40,626) = 25040 / 2
LCM(40,626) = 12520
