Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 245/97,470/864
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 245,470
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 245,470 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,864 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,864 is 83808 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 245,470
5 | 245, 470 |
49, 94 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

List of positive integer factors of 245 that divides 245 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35,49,245
Factors of 470
List of positive integer factors of 470 that divides 470 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,47,94,235,470
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 245,470 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 245,470 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,864
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/83808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 245/97,470/864 is 5/83808
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 97,864 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,864) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,864) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,864) = ( 97 × 864 ) / 1
LCM(97,864) = 83808 / 1
LCM(97,864) = 83808
