Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/901,312/945
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 72,312
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 72,312 is 24 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 901,945 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 901,945 is 851445 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,312
2 | 72, 312 |
2 | 36, 156 |
2 | 18, 78 |
3 | 9, 39 |
3, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 312
List of positive integer factors of 312 that divides 312 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,13,24,26,39,52,78,104,156,312
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,312 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,312 is 24.
Lets's calculate LCM of 901,945
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 851445
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 24/851445
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/901,312/945 is 24/851445
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 901,945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(901,945) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(901,945) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(901,945) = ( 901 × 945 ) / 1
LCM(901,945) = 851445 / 1
LCM(901,945) = 851445
