Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 63/887,480/694
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 63,480
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 63,480 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 887,694 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 887,694 is 615578 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 63,480
3 | 63, 480 |
21, 160 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,7,9,21,63
Factors of 480
List of positive integer factors of 480 that divides 480 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,80,96,120,160,240,480
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 63,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 63,480 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,694
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 615578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/615578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 63/887,480/694 is 3/615578
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 887,694 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,694) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,694) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,694) = ( 887 × 694 ) / 1
LCM(887,694) = 615578 / 1
LCM(887,694) = 615578
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
