Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 859/720,147/250
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 859,147
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 859,147 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 720,250 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 720,250 is 18000 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 859,147
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,859
Factors of 147
List of positive integer factors of 147 that divides 147 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,49,147
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 859,147 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 859,147 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 720,250
2 | 720, 250 |
5 | 360, 125 |
72, 25 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 72 x 25 = 18000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 859/720,147/250 is 1/18000
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 720,250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,250) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,250) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(720,250) = ( 720 × 250 ) / 10
LCM(720,250) = 180000 / 10
LCM(720,250) = 18000
