Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5511/55,1987/640
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 5511,1987
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5511,1987 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,640 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,640 is 7040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5511,1987
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1987
List of positive integer factors of 1987 that divides 1987 without a remainder.
1,1987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5511,1987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5511,1987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,640
5 | 55, 640 |
11, 128 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 11 x 128 = 7040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5511/55,1987/640 is 1/7040
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 55,640 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,640) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,640) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(55,640) = ( 55 × 640 ) / 5
LCM(55,640) = 35200 / 5
LCM(55,640) = 7040
