Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 135/40,165/8443
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 135,165
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 135,165 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,8443 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,8443 is 337720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 135,165
3 | 135, 165 |
5 | 45, 55 |
9, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Factors of 165
List of positive integer factors of 165 that divides 165 without a remainder.
1,3,5,11,15,33,55,165
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 135,165 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 135,165 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,8443
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 337720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/337720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 135/40,165/8443 is 15/337720
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 40,8443 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,8443) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,8443) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,8443) = ( 40 × 8443 ) / 1
LCM(40,8443) = 337720 / 1
LCM(40,8443) = 337720
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
