Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 165/180,405/902
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 165,405
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 165,405 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 180,902 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 180,902 is 81180 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 165,405
3 | 165, 405 |
5 | 55, 135 |
11, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Factors of 405
List of positive integer factors of 405 that divides 405 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,27,45,81,135,405
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 165,405 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 165,405 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 180,902
2 | 180, 902 |
90, 451 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 90 x 451 = 81180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/81180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/180,405/902 is 15/81180
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 180,902 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(180,902) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(180,902) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(180,902) = ( 180 × 902 ) / 2
LCM(180,902) = 162360 / 2
LCM(180,902) = 81180
