Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 127/45,228/3600
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 127,228
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 127,228 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,3600 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,3600 is 3600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 127,228
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,127
Factors of 228
List of positive integer factors of 228 that divides 228 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,19,38,57,76,114,228
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 127,228 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 127,228 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,3600
3 | 45, 3600 |
3 | 15, 1200 |
5 | 5, 400 |
1, 80 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 80 = 3600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 127/45,228/3600 is 1/3600
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 45,3600 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,3600) = 45
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,3600) x common factors =45 x 1 = 45
LCM(45,3600) = ( 45 × 3600 ) / 45
LCM(45,3600) = 162000 / 45
LCM(45,3600) = 3600
