Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1798/250,7517/360
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 1798,7517
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1798,7517 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 250,360 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 250,360 is 9000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1798,7517
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 7517
List of positive integer factors of 7517 that divides 7517 without a remainder.
1,7517
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1798,7517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1798,7517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 250,360
2 | 250, 360 |
5 | 125, 180 |
25, 36 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 25 x 36 = 9000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1798/250,7517/360 is 1/9000
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 250,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,360) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,360) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(250,360) = ( 250 × 360 ) / 10
LCM(250,360) = 90000 / 10
LCM(250,360) = 9000
