Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 735/12,505/5879
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 735,505
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 735,505 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,5879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,5879 is 70548 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 735,505
5 | 735, 505 |
147, 101 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,3,5,7,15,21,35,49,105,147,245,735
Factors of 505
List of positive integer factors of 505 that divides 505 without a remainder.
1,5,101,505
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 735,505 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 735,505 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,5879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 70548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/70548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/12,505/5879 is 5/70548
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 12,5879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,5879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,5879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,5879) = ( 12 × 5879 ) / 1
LCM(12,5879) = 70548 / 1
LCM(12,5879) = 70548
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
