Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 495/35,670/360
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 495,670
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 495,670 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,360 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,360 is 2520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 495,670
5 | 495, 670 |
99, 134 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,3,5,9,11,15,33,45,55,99,165,495
Factors of 670
List of positive integer factors of 670 that divides 670 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,67,134,335,670
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 495,670 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 495,670 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,360
5 | 35, 360 |
7, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 72 = 2520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 495/35,670/360 is 5/2520
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 35,360 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,360) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,360) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(35,360) = ( 35 × 360 ) / 5
LCM(35,360) = 12600 / 5
LCM(35,360) = 2520
