Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 88/321,876/464
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 88,876
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 88,876 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 321,464 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 321,464 is 148944 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 88,876
2 | 88, 876 |
2 | 44, 438 |
22, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88
Factors of 876
List of positive integer factors of 876 that divides 876 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,73,146,219,292,438,876
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,876 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,876 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 321,464
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/148944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/321,876/464 is 4/148944
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 321,464 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(321,464) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(321,464) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(321,464) = ( 321 × 464 ) / 1
LCM(321,464) = 148944 / 1
LCM(321,464) = 148944
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
