Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 645/399,9111/401
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 645,9111
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 645,9111 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 399,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 399,401 is 159999 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 645,9111
3 | 645, 9111 |
215, 3037 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 9111
List of positive integer factors of 9111 that divides 9111 without a remainder.
1,3,3037,9111
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 645,9111 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 645,9111 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 399,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159999
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/159999
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 645/399,9111/401 is 3/159999
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 399,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(399,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(399,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(399,401) = ( 399 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(399,401) = 159999 / 1
LCM(399,401) = 159999
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
