Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 520/65,540/235
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 520,540
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 520,540 is 20 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 65,235 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 65,235 is 3055 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 520,540
2 | 520, 540 |
2 | 260, 270 |
5 | 130, 135 |
26, 27 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 = 20

Factors of 540
List of positive integer factors of 540 that divides 540 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,27,30,36,45,54,60,90,108,135,180,270,540
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 520,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 520,540 is 20.
Lets's calculate LCM of 65,235
5 | 65, 235 |
13, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 13 x 47 = 3055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 20/3055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 520/65,540/235 is 20/3055
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 65,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(65,235) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(65,235) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(65,235) = ( 65 × 235 ) / 5
LCM(65,235) = 15275 / 5
LCM(65,235) = 3055
