Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 650/32,842/125
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 650,842
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 650,842 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,125 is 4000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 650,842
2 | 650, 842 |
325, 421 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,5,10,13,25,26,50,65,130,325,650
Factors of 842
List of positive integer factors of 842 that divides 842 without a remainder.
1,2,421,842
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 650,842 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 650,842 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 650/32,842/125 is 2/4000
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 32,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,125) = ( 32 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(32,125) = 4000 / 1
LCM(32,125) = 4000
