Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 722/50,660/479
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 722,660
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 722,660 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,479 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,479 is 23950 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 722,660
2 | 722, 660 |
361, 330 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 660
List of positive integer factors of 660 that divides 660 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12,15,20,22,30,33,44,55,60,66,110,132,165,220,330,660
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 722,660 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 722,660 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 23950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/23950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 722/50,660/479 is 2/23950
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 50,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,479) = ( 50 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(50,479) = 23950 / 1
LCM(50,479) = 23950
