Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 540/86,542/125
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 540,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 540,542 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 86,125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 86,125 is 10750 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 540,542
2 | 540, 542 |
270, 271 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,27,30,36,45,54,60,90,108,135,180,270,540
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 540,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 540,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 86,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 540/86,542/125 is 2/10750
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 86,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(86,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(86,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(86,125) = ( 86 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(86,125) = 10750 / 1
LCM(86,125) = 10750
