Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 888/685,704/456
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 888,704
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 888,704 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 685,456 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 685,456 is 312360 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 888,704
2 | 888, 704 |
2 | 444, 352 |
2 | 222, 176 |
111, 88 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 888,704 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 888,704 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 685,456
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 312360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/312360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 888/685,704/456 is 8/312360
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 685,456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,456) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,456) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(685,456) = ( 685 × 456 ) / 1
LCM(685,456) = 312360 / 1
LCM(685,456) = 312360
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
