Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 312/52,143/5781
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 312,143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 312,143 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,5781 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,5781 is 300612 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 312,143
13 | 312, 143 |
24, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,13,24,26,39,52,78,104,156,312
Factors of 143
List of positive integer factors of 143 that divides 143 without a remainder.
1,11,13,143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 312,143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 312,143 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,5781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 300612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/300612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/52,143/5781 is 13/300612
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 52,5781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,5781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,5781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,5781) = ( 52 × 5781 ) / 1
LCM(52,5781) = 300612 / 1
LCM(52,5781) = 300612
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
