Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/187,132/393
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 60,132
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,132 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 187,393 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 187,393 is 73491 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,132
2 | 60, 132 |
2 | 30, 66 |
3 | 15, 33 |
5, 11 |
∴ 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 132
List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,132 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 187,393
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 73491
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/73491
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/187,132/393 is 12/73491
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 187,393 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(187,393) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(187,393) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(187,393) = ( 187 × 393 ) / 1
LCM(187,393) = 73491 / 1
LCM(187,393) = 73491
