Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3429/15,1558/305
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 3429,1558
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3429,1558 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,305 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,305 is 915 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3429,1558
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,19,38,41,82,779,1558
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3429,1558 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3429,1558 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,305
5 | 15, 305 |
3, 61 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 3 x 61 = 915
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/915
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3429/15,1558/305 is 1/915
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 15,305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,305) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,305) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(15,305) = ( 15 × 305 ) / 5
LCM(15,305) = 4575 / 5
LCM(15,305) = 915
