Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3000/89,8712/961
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 3000,8712
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3000,8712 is 24 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 89,961 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 89,961 is 85529 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3000,8712
2 | 3000, 8712 |
2 | 1500, 4356 |
2 | 750, 2178 |
3 | 375, 1089 |
125, 363 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3000,8712 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3000,8712 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/85529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3000/89,8712/961 is 24/85529
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 89,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,961) = ( 89 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(89,961) = 85529 / 1
LCM(89,961) = 85529
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
