Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 147/49,1719/150
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 147,1719
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 147,1719 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,150 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,150 is 7350 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 147,1719
3 | 147, 1719 |
49, 573 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 147 that divides 147 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,49,147
Factors of 1719
List of positive integer factors of 1719 that divides 1719 without a remainder.
1,3,9,191,573,1719
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 147,1719 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 147,1719 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,150
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 147/49,1719/150 is 3/7350
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 49,150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,150) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,150) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,150) = ( 49 × 150 ) / 1
LCM(49,150) = 7350 / 1
LCM(49,150) = 7350
