Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 455/21,730/1940
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 455,730
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 455,730 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,1940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,1940 is 40740 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 455,730
5 | 455, 730 |
91, 146 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,5,7,13,35,65,91,455
Factors of 730
List of positive integer factors of 730 that divides 730 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,73,146,365,730
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 455,730 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 455,730 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,1940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/40740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 455/21,730/1940 is 5/40740
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 21,1940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,1940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,1940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,1940) = ( 21 × 1940 ) / 1
LCM(21,1940) = 40740 / 1
LCM(21,1940) = 40740
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
