Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5514/36,4380/101
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 5514,4380
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5514,4380 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,101 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,101 is 3636 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5514,4380
2 | 5514, 4380 |
3 | 2757, 2190 |
919, 730 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5514,4380 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5514,4380 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3636
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/3636
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5514/36,4380/101 is 6/3636
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 36,101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,101) = ( 36 × 101 ) / 1
LCM(36,101) = 3636 / 1
LCM(36,101) = 3636
