Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 88/672,715/740
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 88,715
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 88,715 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 672,740 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 672,740 is 124320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 88,715
11 | 88, 715 |
8, 65 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

Factors of 715
List of positive integer factors of 715 that divides 715 without a remainder.
1,5,11,13,55,65,143,715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 88,715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 88,715 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 672,740
2 | 672, 740 |
2 | 336, 370 |
168, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 168 x 185 = 124320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/124320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 88/672,715/740 is 11/124320
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 672,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(672,740) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(672,740) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(672,740) = ( 672 × 740 ) / 4
LCM(672,740) = 497280 / 4
LCM(672,740) = 124320
