Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3215/40,7771/332
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 3215,7771
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3215,7771 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,332 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,332 is 3320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3215,7771
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,19,409,7771
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3215,7771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3215,7771 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,332
2 | 40, 332 |
2 | 20, 166 |
10, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 83 = 3320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3215/40,7771/332 is 1/3320
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 40,332 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,332) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,332) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,332) = ( 40 × 332 ) / 4
LCM(40,332) = 13280 / 4
LCM(40,332) = 3320
