Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 195/43,740/347
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 195,740
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 195,740 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,347 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,347 is 14921 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 195,740
5 | 195, 740 |
39, 148 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

List of positive integer factors of 195 that divides 195 without a remainder.
1,3,5,13,15,39,65,195
Factors of 740
List of positive integer factors of 740 that divides 740 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 195,740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 195,740 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/14921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 195/43,740/347 is 5/14921
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 43,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,347) = ( 43 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(43,347) = 14921 / 1
LCM(43,347) = 14921
