Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 300/711,945/728
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 300,945
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 300,945 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 711,728 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 711,728 is 517608 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 300,945
3 | 300, 945 |
5 | 100, 315 |
20, 63 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 300,945 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 300,945 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 711,728
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 517608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/517608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 300/711,945/728 is 15/517608
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 711,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(711,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(711,728) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(711,728) = ( 711 × 728 ) / 1
LCM(711,728) = 517608 / 1
LCM(711,728) = 517608
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
