Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 200/750,6940/257
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 200,6940
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 200,6940 is 20 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 750,257 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 750,257 is 192750 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 200,6940
2 | 200, 6940 |
2 | 100, 3470 |
5 | 50, 1735 |
10, 347 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 200,6940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 200,6940 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 750,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 192750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/192750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/750,6940/257 is 20/192750
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 750,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(750,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(750,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(750,257) = ( 750 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(750,257) = 192750 / 1
LCM(750,257) = 192750
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
