Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2855/36,1180/637
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 2855,1180
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2855,1180 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,637 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,637 is 22932 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2855,1180
5 | 2855, 1180 |
571, 236 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,5,571,2855
Factors of 1180
List of positive integer factors of 1180 that divides 1180 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,59,118,236,295,590,1180
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2855,1180 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2855,1180 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/22932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2855/36,1180/637 is 5/22932
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 36,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,637) = ( 36 × 637 ) / 1
LCM(36,637) = 22932 / 1
LCM(36,637) = 22932
