Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 325/36,2847/120
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 325,2847
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 325,2847 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,120 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,120 is 360 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 325,2847
13 | 325, 2847 |
25, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

Factors of 2847
List of positive integer factors of 2847 that divides 2847 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,73,219,949,2847
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 325,2847 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 325,2847 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,120
2 | 36, 120 |
2 | 18, 60 |
3 | 9, 30 |
3, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 10 = 360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 325/36,2847/120 is 13/360
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 36,120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,120) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,120) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(36,120) = ( 36 × 120 ) / 12
LCM(36,120) = 4320 / 12
LCM(36,120) = 360
