Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 601/85,3225/221
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 601,3225
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 601,3225 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 85,221 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 85,221 is 1105 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 601,3225

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,3225 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,3225 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 85,221
17 | 85, 221 |
5, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 5 x 13 = 1105
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1105
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/85,3225/221 is 1/1105
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 85,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(85,221) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(85,221) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(85,221) = ( 85 × 221 ) / 17
LCM(85,221) = 18785 / 17
LCM(85,221) = 1105
