Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 875/72,132/128
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 875,132
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 875,132 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,128 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,128 is 1152 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 875,132
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 132
List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 875,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 875,132 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,128
2 | 72, 128 |
2 | 36, 64 |
2 | 18, 32 |
9, 16 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 16 = 1152
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1152
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 875/72,132/128 is 1/1152
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 72,128 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,128) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,128) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,128) = ( 72 × 128 ) / 8
LCM(72,128) = 9216 / 8
LCM(72,128) = 1152
