Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 664/287,404/718
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 664,404
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 664,404 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 287,718 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 287,718 is 206066 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 664,404
2 | 664, 404 |
2 | 332, 202 |
166, 101 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,8,83,166,332,664
Factors of 404
List of positive integer factors of 404 that divides 404 without a remainder.
1,2,4,101,202,404
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 664,404 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 664,404 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,718
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/206066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 664/287,404/718 is 4/206066
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 287,718 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,718) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,718) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,718) = ( 287 × 718 ) / 1
LCM(287,718) = 206066 / 1
LCM(287,718) = 206066
