Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 216/85,5173/135
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 216,5173
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 216,5173 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 85,135 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 85,135 is 2295 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 216,5173
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,27,36,54,72,108,216
Factors of 5173
List of positive integer factors of 5173 that divides 5173 without a remainder.
1,7,739,5173
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 216,5173 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 216,5173 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,135
5 | 85, 135 |
17, 27 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 27 = 2295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 216/85,5173/135 is 1/2295
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 85,135 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,135) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,135) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(85,135) = ( 85 × 135 ) / 5
LCM(85,135) = 11475 / 5
LCM(85,135) = 2295
