Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 641/32,994/940
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 641,994
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 641,994 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,940 is 7520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 641,994
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,641
Factors of 994
List of positive integer factors of 994 that divides 994 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,71,142,497,994
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 641,994 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 641,994 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,940
2 | 32, 940 |
2 | 16, 470 |
8, 235 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 8 x 235 = 7520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 641/32,994/940 is 1/7520
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 32,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,940) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,940) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(32,940) = ( 32 × 940 ) / 4
LCM(32,940) = 30080 / 4
LCM(32,940) = 7520
