Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 685/14,6995/872
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 685,6995
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 685,6995 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,872 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,872 is 6104 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 685,6995
5 | 685, 6995 |
137, 1399 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

Factors of 6995
List of positive integer factors of 6995 that divides 6995 without a remainder.
1,5,1399,6995
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 685,6995 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 685,6995 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,872
2 | 14, 872 |
7, 436 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 436 = 6104
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/6104
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/14,6995/872 is 5/6104
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 14,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,872) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,872) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(14,872) = ( 14 × 872 ) / 2
LCM(14,872) = 12208 / 2
LCM(14,872) = 6104
