Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 891/591,220/721
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 891,220
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 891,220 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 591,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 591,721 is 426111 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 891,220
11 | 891, 220 |
81, 20 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 891,220 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 891,220 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 591,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426111
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/426111
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 891/591,220/721 is 11/426111
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 591,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(591,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(591,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(591,721) = ( 591 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(591,721) = 426111 / 1
LCM(591,721) = 426111
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
