Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 691/62,242/240
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 691,242
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 691,242 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 62,240 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 62,240 is 7440 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 691,242
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 691

1,691
Factors of 242
List of positive integer factors of 242 that divides 242 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,121,242
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 691,242 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 691,242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 62,240
2 | 62, 240 |
31, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 31 x 120 = 7440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 691/62,242/240 is 1/7440
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 62,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(62,240) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(62,240) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(62,240) = ( 62 × 240 ) / 2
LCM(62,240) = 14880 / 2
LCM(62,240) = 7440
