Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 730/36,815/559
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 730,815
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 730,815 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,559 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,559 is 20124 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 730,815
5 | 730, 815 |
146, 163 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

List of positive integer factors of 730 that divides 730 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,73,146,365,730
Factors of 815
List of positive integer factors of 815 that divides 815 without a remainder.
1,5,163,815
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 730,815 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 730,815 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,559
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/20124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 730/36,815/559 is 5/20124
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 36,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,559) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,559) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,559) = ( 36 × 559 ) / 1
LCM(36,559) = 20124 / 1
LCM(36,559) = 20124
