Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 120/68,714/2955
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 120,714
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 120,714 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,2955 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,2955 is 200940 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 120,714
2 | 120, 714 |
3 | 60, 357 |
20, 119 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 120,714 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 120,714 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,2955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 200940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/200940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 120/68,714/2955 is 6/200940
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 68,2955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,2955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,2955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,2955) = ( 68 × 2955 ) / 1
LCM(68,2955) = 200940 / 1
LCM(68,2955) = 200940
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
