Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 462/37,825/371
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 462,825
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 462,825 is 33 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,371 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,371 is 13727 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 462,825
3 | 462, 825 |
11 | 154, 275 |
14, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 11 = 33

1,3,5,11,15,25,33,55,75,165,275,825
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 462,825 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 462,825 is 33.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13727
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 33/13727
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 462/37,825/371 is 33/13727
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 37,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,371) = ( 37 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(37,371) = 13727 / 1
LCM(37,371) = 13727
