Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 408/51,510/375
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 408,510
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 408,510 is 102 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,375 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,375 is 6375 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 408,510
2 | 408, 510 |
3 | 204, 255 |
17 | 68, 85 |
4, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 17 = 102

1,2,3,5,6,10,15,17,30,34,51,85,102,170,255,510
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 408,510 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 408,510 is 102.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,375
3 | 51, 375 |
17, 125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 17 x 125 = 6375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 102/6375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 408/51,510/375 is 102/6375
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 51,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,375) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,375) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(51,375) = ( 51 × 375 ) / 3
LCM(51,375) = 19125 / 3
LCM(51,375) = 6375
