Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 686/637,154/615
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 686,154
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 686,154 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 637,615 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 637,615 is 391755 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 686,154
2 | 686, 154 |
7 | 343, 77 |
49, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Factors of 154
List of positive integer factors of 154 that divides 154 without a remainder.
1,2,7,11,14,22,77,154
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 686,154 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 686,154 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 637,615
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 391755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/391755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 686/637,154/615 is 14/391755
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 637,615 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,615) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,615) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(637,615) = ( 637 × 615 ) / 1
LCM(637,615) = 391755 / 1
LCM(637,615) = 391755
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
