Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 475/395,1970/156
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 475,1970
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 475,1970 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 395,156 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 395,156 is 61620 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 475,1970
5 | 475, 1970 |
95, 394 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,5,19,25,95,475
Factors of 1970
List of positive integer factors of 1970 that divides 1970 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,197,394,985,1970
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 475,1970 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 475,1970 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 395,156
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/61620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 475/395,1970/156 is 5/61620
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 395,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(395,156) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(395,156) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(395,156) = ( 395 × 156 ) / 1
LCM(395,156) = 61620 / 1
LCM(395,156) = 61620
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
