Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 307/143,368/845
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 307,368
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 307,368 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 143,845 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 143,845 is 9295 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 307,368
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8,16,23,46,92,184,368
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 307,368 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 307,368 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,845
13 | 143, 845 |
11, 65 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 11 x 65 = 9295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 307/143,368/845 is 1/9295
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 143,845 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,845) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,845) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(143,845) = ( 143 × 845 ) / 13
LCM(143,845) = 120835 / 13
LCM(143,845) = 9295
