Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6548/20,1260/541
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 6548,1260
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6548,1260 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,541 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,541 is 10820 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6548,1260
2 | 6548, 1260 |
2 | 3274, 630 |
1637, 315 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6548,1260 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6548,1260 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/10820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6548/20,1260/541 is 4/10820
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 20,541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(20,541) = ( 20 × 541 ) / 1
LCM(20,541) = 10820 / 1
LCM(20,541) = 10820
