Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 253/15,1564/947
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 253,1564
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 253,1564 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,947 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,947 is 14205 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 253,1564
23 | 253, 1564 |
11, 68 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

1,11,23,253
Factors of 1564
List of positive integer factors of 1564 that divides 1564 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,23,34,46,68,92,391,782,1564
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 253,1564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 253,1564 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/14205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/15,1564/947 is 23/14205
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 15,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,947) = ( 15 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(15,947) = 14205 / 1
LCM(15,947) = 14205
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
