Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 640/69,976/481
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 640,976
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 640,976 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 69,481 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 69,481 is 33189 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 640,976
2 | 640, 976 |
2 | 320, 488 |
2 | 160, 244 |
2 | 80, 122 |
40, 61 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,4,8,16,61,122,244,488,976
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 640,976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 640,976 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,481
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/33189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 640/69,976/481 is 16/33189
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 69,481 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,481) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,481) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,481) = ( 69 × 481 ) / 1
LCM(69,481) = 33189 / 1
LCM(69,481) = 33189
