Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 687/63,2157/146
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 687,2157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 687,2157 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 63,146 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 63,146 is 9198 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 687,2157
3 | 687, 2157 |
229, 719 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 2157
List of positive integer factors of 2157 that divides 2157 without a remainder.
1,3,719,2157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 687,2157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 687,2157 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9198
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9198
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 687/63,2157/146 is 3/9198
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 63,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,146) = ( 63 × 146 ) / 1
LCM(63,146) = 9198 / 1
LCM(63,146) = 9198
