Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 245/368,2851/640
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 245,2851
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 245,2851 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 368,640 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 368,640 is 14720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 245,2851
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 2851 that divides 2851 without a remainder.
1,2851
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,2851 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,2851 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 368,640
2 | 368, 640 |
2 | 184, 320 |
2 | 92, 160 |
2 | 46, 80 |
23, 40 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 23 x 40 = 14720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/368,2851/640 is 1/14720
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 368,640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(368,640) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(368,640) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(368,640) = ( 368 × 640 ) / 16
LCM(368,640) = 235520 / 16
LCM(368,640) = 14720
