Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 840/13,585/262
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 840,585
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 840,585 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,262 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,262 is 3406 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 840,585
3 | 840, 585 |
5 | 280, 195 |
56, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

1,3,5,9,13,15,39,45,65,117,195,585
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 840,585 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 840,585 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,262
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3406
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/3406
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 840/13,585/262 is 15/3406
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 13,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,262) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,262) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,262) = ( 13 × 262 ) / 1
LCM(13,262) = 3406 / 1
LCM(13,262) = 3406
