Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 177/140,8012/7202
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 177,8012
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 177,8012 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 140,7202 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 140,7202 is 504140 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 177,8012
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,2003,4006,8012
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 177,8012 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 177,8012 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 140,7202
2 | 140, 7202 |
70, 3601 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 70 x 3601 = 504140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/504140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 177/140,8012/7202 is 1/504140
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 140,7202 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(140,7202) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(140,7202) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(140,7202) = ( 140 × 7202 ) / 2
LCM(140,7202) = 1008280 / 2
LCM(140,7202) = 504140
