Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2580/17,3952/162
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 2580,3952
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2580,3952 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,162 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,162 is 2754 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2580,3952
2 | 2580, 3952 |
2 | 1290, 1976 |
645, 988 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2580,3952 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2580,3952 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,162
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2754
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/2754
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2580/17,3952/162 is 4/2754
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 17,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,162) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,162) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,162) = ( 17 × 162 ) / 1
LCM(17,162) = 2754 / 1
LCM(17,162) = 2754
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
