Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 642/18,790/920
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 642,790
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 642,790 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,920 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,920 is 8280 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 642,790
2 | 642, 790 |
321, 395 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 790
List of positive integer factors of 790 that divides 790 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,79,158,395,790
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 642,790 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 642,790 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,920
2 | 18, 920 |
9, 460 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 9 x 460 = 8280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 642/18,790/920 is 2/8280
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 18,920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,920) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,920) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(18,920) = ( 18 × 920 ) / 2
LCM(18,920) = 16560 / 2
LCM(18,920) = 8280
