Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/421,2460/9203
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 15,2460
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,2460 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 421,9203 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 421,9203 is 3874463 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,2460
3 | 15, 2460 |
5 | 5, 820 |
1, 164 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Factors of 2460
List of positive integer factors of 2460 that divides 2460 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,41,60,82,123,164,205,246,410,492,615,820,1230,2460
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,2460 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,2460 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,9203
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3874463
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/3874463
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/421,2460/9203 is 15/3874463
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 421,9203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,9203) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,9203) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,9203) = ( 421 × 9203 ) / 1
LCM(421,9203) = 3874463 / 1
LCM(421,9203) = 3874463
