Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 120/281,5124/149
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 120,5124
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 120,5124 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 281,149 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 281,149 is 41869 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 120,5124
2 | 120, 5124 |
2 | 60, 2562 |
3 | 30, 1281 |
10, 427 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,5124 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,5124 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 281,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41869
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/41869
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/281,5124/149 is 12/41869
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 281,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(281,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(281,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(281,149) = ( 281 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(281,149) = 41869 / 1
LCM(281,149) = 41869
