Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 234/24,375/275
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 234,375
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 234,375 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,275 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,275 is 6600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 234,375
3 | 234, 375 |
78, 125 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 375
List of positive integer factors of 375 that divides 375 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,25,75,125,375
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 234,375 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 234,375 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,275
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 234/24,375/275 is 3/6600
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 24,275 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,275) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,275) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(24,275) = ( 24 × 275 ) / 1
LCM(24,275) = 6600 / 1
LCM(24,275) = 6600
