Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 644/537,892/407
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 644,892
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 644,892 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 537,407 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 537,407 is 218559 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 644,892
2 | 644, 892 |
2 | 322, 446 |
161, 223 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,7,14,23,28,46,92,161,322,644
Factors of 892
List of positive integer factors of 892 that divides 892 without a remainder.
1,2,4,223,446,892
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 644,892 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 644,892 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,407
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218559
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/218559
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 644/537,892/407 is 4/218559
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 537,407 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,407) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,407) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,407) = ( 537 × 407 ) / 1
LCM(537,407) = 218559 / 1
LCM(537,407) = 218559
