Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 255/29,729/9979
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 255,729
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 255,729 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,9979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,9979 is 289391 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 255,729
3 | 255, 729 |
85, 243 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,9,27,81,243,729
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 255,729 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 255,729 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,9979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 289391
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/289391
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 255/29,729/9979 is 3/289391
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 29,9979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,9979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,9979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,9979) = ( 29 × 9979 ) / 1
LCM(29,9979) = 289391 / 1
LCM(29,9979) = 289391
