Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 160/279,8060/871
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 160,8060
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 160,8060 is 20 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 279,871 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 279,871 is 243009 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 160,8060
2 | 160, 8060 |
2 | 80, 4030 |
5 | 40, 2015 |
8, 403 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 160,8060 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 160,8060 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243009
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/243009
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 160/279,8060/871 is 20/243009
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 279,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,871) = ( 279 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(279,871) = 243009 / 1
LCM(279,871) = 243009
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
