Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1080/27,3972/827
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 1080,3972
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1080,3972 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,827 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,827 is 22329 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1080,3972
2 | 1080, 3972 |
2 | 540, 1986 |
3 | 270, 993 |
90, 331 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1080,3972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1080,3972 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,827
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22329
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/22329
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1080/27,3972/827 is 12/22329
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 27,827 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,827) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,827) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,827) = ( 27 × 827 ) / 1
LCM(27,827) = 22329 / 1
LCM(27,827) = 22329
