Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 716/27,278/1624
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 716,278
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 716,278 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,1624 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,1624 is 43848 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 716,278
2 | 716, 278 |
358, 139 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 278
List of positive integer factors of 278 that divides 278 without a remainder.
1,2,139,278
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 716,278 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 716,278 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,1624
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 43848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/43848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 716/27,278/1624 is 2/43848
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 27,1624 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,1624) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,1624) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,1624) = ( 27 × 1624 ) / 1
LCM(27,1624) = 43848 / 1
LCM(27,1624) = 43848
