Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 492/15,735/881
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 492,735
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 492,735 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,881 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,881 is 13215 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 492,735
3 | 492, 735 |
164, 245 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,5,7,15,21,35,49,105,147,245,735
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 492,735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 492,735 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13215
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/13215
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/15,735/881 is 3/13215
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 15,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,881) = ( 15 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(15,881) = 13215 / 1
LCM(15,881) = 13215
