Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6085/42,7282/140
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 6085,7282
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6085,7282 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,140 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,140 is 420 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6085,7282
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 7282
List of positive integer factors of 7282 that divides 7282 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,331,662,3641,7282
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6085,7282 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6085,7282 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,140
2 | 42, 140 |
7 | 21, 70 |
3, 10 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 3 x 10 = 420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6085/42,7282/140 is 1/420
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 42,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,140) = 14
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,140) x common factors =14 x 1 = 14
LCM(42,140) = ( 42 × 140 ) / 14
LCM(42,140) = 5880 / 14
LCM(42,140) = 420
