Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1564/44,2721/950
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 1564,2721
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1564,2721 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,950 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,950 is 20900 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1564,2721
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,17,23,34,46,68,92,391,782,1564
Factors of 2721
List of positive integer factors of 2721 that divides 2721 without a remainder.
1,3,907,2721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1564,2721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1564,2721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,950
2 | 44, 950 |
22, 475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 22 x 475 = 20900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1564/44,2721/950 is 1/20900
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 44,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,950) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,950) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(44,950) = ( 44 × 950 ) / 2
LCM(44,950) = 41800 / 2
LCM(44,950) = 20900
