Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 650/16,1735/229
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 650,1735
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 650,1735 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,229 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,229 is 3664 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 650,1735
5 | 650, 1735 |
130, 347 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,2,5,10,13,25,26,50,65,130,325,650
Factors of 1735
List of positive integer factors of 1735 that divides 1735 without a remainder.
1,5,347,1735
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 650,1735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 650,1735 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/3664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 650/16,1735/229 is 5/3664
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 16,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,229) = ( 16 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(16,229) = 3664 / 1
LCM(16,229) = 3664
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
