Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 900/27,130/996
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 900,130
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 900,130 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,996 is 8964 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 900,130
2 | 900, 130 |
5 | 450, 65 |
90, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,25,30,36,45,50,60,75,90,100,150,180,225,300,450,900
Factors of 130
List of positive integer factors of 130 that divides 130 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 900,130 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 900,130 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,996
3 | 27, 996 |
9, 332 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 332 = 8964
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/8964
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 900/27,130/996 is 10/8964
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 27,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,996) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,996) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(27,996) = ( 27 × 996 ) / 3
LCM(27,996) = 26892 / 3
LCM(27,996) = 8964
