Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 375/42,700/547
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 375,700
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 375,700 is 25 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,547 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,547 is 22974 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 375,700
5 | 375, 700 |
5 | 75, 140 |
15, 28 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 5 = 25

1,2,4,5,7,10,14,20,25,28,35,50,70,100,140,175,350,700
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 375,700 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 375,700 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,547
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22974
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/22974
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/42,700/547 is 25/22974
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 42,547 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,547) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,547) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,547) = ( 42 × 547 ) / 1
LCM(42,547) = 22974 / 1
LCM(42,547) = 22974
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
