Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 126/240,1800/521
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 126,1800
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 126,1800 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 240,521 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 240,521 is 125040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 126,1800
2 | 126, 1800 |
3 | 63, 900 |
3 | 21, 300 |
7, 100 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 126,1800 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 126,1800 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 125040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/125040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 126/240,1800/521 is 18/125040
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 240,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(240,521) = ( 240 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(240,521) = 125040 / 1
LCM(240,521) = 125040
