Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 495/127,390/542
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 495,390
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 495,390 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 127,542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 127,542 is 68834 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 495,390
3 | 495, 390 |
5 | 165, 130 |
33, 26 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 495,390 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 495,390 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 127,542
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 68834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/68834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 495/127,390/542 is 15/68834
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 127,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(127,542) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(127,542) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(127,542) = ( 127 × 542 ) / 1
LCM(127,542) = 68834 / 1
LCM(127,542) = 68834
