Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 712/241,904/820
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 712,904
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 712,904 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 241,820 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 241,820 is 197620 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 712,904
2 | 712, 904 |
2 | 356, 452 |
2 | 178, 226 |
89, 113 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

1,2,4,8,89,178,356,712
Factors of 904
List of positive integer factors of 904 that divides 904 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,113,226,452,904
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 712,904 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,904 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 241,820
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/197620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/241,904/820 is 8/197620
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 241,820 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(241,820) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(241,820) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(241,820) = ( 241 × 820 ) / 1
LCM(241,820) = 197620 / 1
LCM(241,820) = 197620
