Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1394/21,3715/507
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 1394,3715
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1394,3715 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,507 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,507 is 3549 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1394,3715
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,17,34,41,82,697,1394
Factors of 3715
List of positive integer factors of 3715 that divides 3715 without a remainder.
1,5,743,3715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1394,3715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1394,3715 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,507
3 | 21, 507 |
7, 169 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 169 = 3549
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3549
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1394/21,3715/507 is 1/3549
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 21,507 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,507) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,507) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(21,507) = ( 21 × 507 ) / 3
LCM(21,507) = 10647 / 3
LCM(21,507) = 3549
