Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 653/72,697/216
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 653,697
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 653,697 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,216 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,216 is 216 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 653,697
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 697
List of positive integer factors of 697 that divides 697 without a remainder.
1,17,41,697
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 653,697 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 653,697 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,216
2 | 72, 216 |
2 | 36, 108 |
2 | 18, 54 |
3 | 9, 27 |
3 | 3, 9 |
1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 3 = 216
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/216
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 653/72,697/216 is 1/216
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 72,216 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,216) = 72
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,216) x common factors =72 x 1 = 72
LCM(72,216) = ( 72 × 216 ) / 72
LCM(72,216) = 15552 / 72
LCM(72,216) = 216
