Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 561/235,2180/879
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 561,2180
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 561,2180 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 235,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 235,879 is 206565 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 561,2180
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,11,17,33,51,187,561
Factors of 2180
List of positive integer factors of 2180 that divides 2180 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,109,218,436,545,1090,2180
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 561,2180 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 561,2180 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 235,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 206565
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/206565
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 561/235,2180/879 is 1/206565
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 235,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,879) = ( 235 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(235,879) = 206565 / 1
LCM(235,879) = 206565
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
