Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 655/32,365/8860
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 655,365
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 655,365 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,8860 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,8860 is 70880 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 655,365
5 | 655, 365 |
131, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,5,131,655
Factors of 365
List of positive integer factors of 365 that divides 365 without a remainder.
1,5,73,365
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 655,365 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 655,365 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,8860
2 | 32, 8860 |
2 | 16, 4430 |
8, 2215 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 8 x 2215 = 70880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/70880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 655/32,365/8860 is 5/70880
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 32,8860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,8860) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,8860) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(32,8860) = ( 32 × 8860 ) / 4
LCM(32,8860) = 283520 / 4
LCM(32,8860) = 70880
