Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 782/272,6002/609
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 782,6002
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 782,6002 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 272,609 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 272,609 is 165648 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 782,6002
2 | 782, 6002 |
391, 3001 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,17,23,34,46,391,782
Factors of 6002
List of positive integer factors of 6002 that divides 6002 without a remainder.
1,2,3001,6002
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 782,6002 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 782,6002 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/165648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 782/272,6002/609 is 2/165648
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 272,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,609) = ( 272 × 609 ) / 1
LCM(272,609) = 165648 / 1
LCM(272,609) = 165648
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
