Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 915/679,735/368
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 915,735
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 915,735 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 679,368 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 679,368 is 249872 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 915,735
3 | 915, 735 |
5 | 305, 245 |
61, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

1,3,5,7,15,21,35,49,105,147,245,735
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 915,735 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 915,735 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 679,368
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 249872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/249872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 915/679,735/368 is 15/249872
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 679,368 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(679,368) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(679,368) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(679,368) = ( 679 × 368 ) / 1
LCM(679,368) = 249872 / 1
LCM(679,368) = 249872
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
