Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 306/135,576/943
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 306,576
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 306,576 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 135,943 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 135,943 is 127305 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 306,576
2 | 306, 576 |
3 | 153, 288 |
3 | 51, 96 |
17, 32 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

We found the factors 306,576 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 306,576 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 135,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127305
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/127305
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 306/135,576/943 is 18/127305
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 135,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(135,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(135,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(135,943) = ( 135 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(135,943) = 127305 / 1
LCM(135,943) = 127305
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
