Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/315,715/704
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 18,715
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,715 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 315,704 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 315,704 is 221760 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,715
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 715
List of positive integer factors of 715 that divides 715 without a remainder.
1,5,11,13,55,65,143,715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,715 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 315,704
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 221760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/221760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/315,715/704 is 1/221760
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 315,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(315,704) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(315,704) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(315,704) = ( 315 × 704 ) / 1
LCM(315,704) = 221760 / 1
LCM(315,704) = 221760
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
