Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2187/19,2085/603
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 2187,2085
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2187,2085 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,603 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,603 is 11457 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2187,2085
3 | 2187, 2085 |
729, 695 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 2085
List of positive integer factors of 2085 that divides 2085 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,139,417,695,2085
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2187,2085 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2187,2085 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,603
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11457
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/11457
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2187/19,2085/603 is 3/11457
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 19,603 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,603) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,603) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,603) = ( 19 × 603 ) / 1
LCM(19,603) = 11457 / 1
LCM(19,603) = 11457
