Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2557/60,6271/525
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 2557,6271
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2557,6271 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,525 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,525 is 2100 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2557,6271
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2557
Factors of 6271
List of positive integer factors of 6271 that divides 6271 without a remainder.
1,6271
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2557,6271 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2557,6271 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,525
3 | 60, 525 |
5 | 20, 175 |
4, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 4 x 35 = 2100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2557/60,6271/525 is 1/2100
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 60,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,525) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,525) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(60,525) = ( 60 × 525 ) / 15
LCM(60,525) = 31500 / 15
LCM(60,525) = 2100
