Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 636/28,468/321
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 636,468
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 636,468 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 28,321 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 28,321 is 8988 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 636,468
2 | 636, 468 |
2 | 318, 234 |
3 | 159, 117 |
53, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 636,468 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 636,468 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,321
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/8988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 636/28,468/321 is 12/8988
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 28,321 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,321) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,321) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(28,321) = ( 28 × 321 ) / 1
LCM(28,321) = 8988 / 1
LCM(28,321) = 8988
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
