Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 187/309,1595/703
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 187,1595
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 187,1595 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 309,703 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 309,703 is 217227 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 187,1595
11 | 187, 1595 |
17, 145 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

1,11,17,187
Factors of 1595
List of positive integer factors of 1595 that divides 1595 without a remainder.
1,5,11,29,55,145,319,1595
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 187,1595 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 187,1595 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 309,703
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217227
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/217227
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 187/309,1595/703 is 11/217227
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 309,703 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,703) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,703) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(309,703) = ( 309 × 703 ) / 1
LCM(309,703) = 217227 / 1
LCM(309,703) = 217227
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
