Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 884/71,4220/940
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 884,4220
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 884,4220 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,940 is 66740 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 884,4220
2 | 884, 4220 |
2 | 442, 2110 |
221, 1055 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 884,4220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 884,4220 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/66740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 884/71,4220/940 is 4/66740
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 71,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,940) = ( 71 × 940 ) / 1
LCM(71,940) = 66740 / 1
LCM(71,940) = 66740
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
