Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/142,564/505
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 60,564
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,564 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 142,505 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 142,505 is 71710 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,564
2 | 60, 564 |
2 | 30, 282 |
3 | 15, 141 |
5, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Factors of 564
List of positive integer factors of 564 that divides 564 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,47,94,141,188,282,564
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,564 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,564 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 142,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/71710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/142,564/505 is 12/71710
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 142,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(142,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(142,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(142,505) = ( 142 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(142,505) = 71710 / 1
LCM(142,505) = 71710
