Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 300/32,450/8532
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 300,450
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 300,450 is 150 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,8532 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,8532 is 68256 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 300,450
2 | 300, 450 |
3 | 150, 225 |
5 | 50, 75 |
5 | 10, 15 |
2, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 150

1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,25,30,45,50,75,90,150,225,450
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 300,450 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 300,450 is 150.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,8532
2 | 32, 8532 |
2 | 16, 4266 |
8, 2133 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 8 x 2133 = 68256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 150/68256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 300/32,450/8532 is 150/68256
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 32,8532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,8532) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,8532) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(32,8532) = ( 32 × 8532 ) / 4
LCM(32,8532) = 273024 / 4
LCM(32,8532) = 68256
