Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 644/61,140/2956
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 644,140
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 644,140 is 28 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,2956 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,2956 is 180316 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 644,140
2 | 644, 140 |
2 | 322, 70 |
7 | 161, 35 |
23, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 = 28

1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,28,35,70,140
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 644,140 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 644,140 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,2956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/180316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 644/61,140/2956 is 28/180316
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 61,2956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,2956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,2956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,2956) = ( 61 × 2956 ) / 1
LCM(61,2956) = 180316 / 1
LCM(61,2956) = 180316
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
