Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 495/77,540/674
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 495,540
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 495,540 is 45 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,674 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,674 is 51898 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 495,540
3 | 495, 540 |
3 | 165, 180 |
5 | 55, 60 |
11, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 5 = 45

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 495,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 495,540 is 45.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,674
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51898
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 45/51898
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 495/77,540/674 is 45/51898
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 77,674 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,674) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,674) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,674) = ( 77 × 674 ) / 1
LCM(77,674) = 51898 / 1
LCM(77,674) = 51898
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
