Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9201/15,4431/280
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 9201,4431
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 9201,4431 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,280 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,280 is 840 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 9201,4431
3 | 9201, 4431 |
3067, 1477 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 4431
List of positive integer factors of 4431 that divides 4431 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,211,633,1477,4431
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9201,4431 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9201,4431 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,280
5 | 15, 280 |
3, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 3 x 56 = 840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9201/15,4431/280 is 3/840
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 15,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,280) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,280) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(15,280) = ( 15 × 280 ) / 5
LCM(15,280) = 4200 / 5
LCM(15,280) = 840
