Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3001/72,2287/684
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 3001,2287
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3001,2287 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,684 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,684 is 1368 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3001,2287
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 2287
List of positive integer factors of 2287 that divides 2287 without a remainder.
1,2287
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3001,2287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3001,2287 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,684
2 | 72, 684 |
2 | 36, 342 |
3 | 18, 171 |
3 | 6, 57 |
2, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 19 = 1368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3001/72,2287/684 is 1/1368
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 72,684 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,684) = 36
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,684) x common factors =36 x 1 = 36
LCM(72,684) = ( 72 × 684 ) / 36
LCM(72,684) = 49248 / 36
LCM(72,684) = 1368
