Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 595/71,785/250
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 595,785
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 595,785 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,250 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,250 is 17750 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 595,785
5 | 595, 785 |
119, 157 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

Factors of 785
List of positive integer factors of 785 that divides 785 without a remainder.
1,5,157,785
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 595,785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 595,785 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/17750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/71,785/250 is 5/17750
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 71,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,250) = ( 71 × 250 ) / 1
LCM(71,250) = 17750 / 1
LCM(71,250) = 17750
