Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 103/270,1657/147
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 103,1657
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 103,1657 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 270,147 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 270,147 is 13230 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 103,1657
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,103
Factors of 1657
List of positive integer factors of 1657 that divides 1657 without a remainder.
1,1657
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 103,1657 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 103,1657 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 270,147
3 | 270, 147 |
90, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 90 x 49 = 13230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/13230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 103/270,1657/147 is 1/13230
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 270,147 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(270,147) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(270,147) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(270,147) = ( 270 × 147 ) / 3
LCM(270,147) = 39690 / 3
LCM(270,147) = 13230
