Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 721/460,3338/905
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 721,3338
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 721,3338 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 460,905 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 460,905 is 83260 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 721,3338
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,7,103,721
Factors of 3338
List of positive integer factors of 3338 that divides 3338 without a remainder.
1,2,1669,3338
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 721,3338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 721,3338 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 460,905
5 | 460, 905 |
92, 181 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 92 x 181 = 83260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 721/460,3338/905 is 1/83260
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 460,905 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(460,905) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(460,905) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(460,905) = ( 460 × 905 ) / 5
LCM(460,905) = 416300 / 5
LCM(460,905) = 83260
