Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 450/40,5000/405
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 450,5000
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 450,5000 is 50 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,405 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,405 is 3240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 450,5000
2 | 450, 5000 |
5 | 225, 2500 |
5 | 45, 500 |
9, 100 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 = 50

Factors of 5000
List of positive integer factors of 5000 that divides 5000 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,50,100,125,200,250,500,625,1000,1250,2500,5000
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 450,5000 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 450,5000 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,405
5 | 40, 405 |
8, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 8 x 81 = 3240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/3240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 450/40,5000/405 is 50/3240
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 40,405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,405) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,405) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(40,405) = ( 40 × 405 ) / 5
LCM(40,405) = 16200 / 5
LCM(40,405) = 3240
