Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 945/42,254/648
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 945,254
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 945,254 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,648 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,648 is 4536 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 945,254
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 254
List of positive integer factors of 254 that divides 254 without a remainder.
1,2,127,254
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 945,254 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 945,254 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,648
2 | 42, 648 |
3 | 21, 324 |
7, 108 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 108 = 4536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 945/42,254/648 is 1/4536
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 42,648 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,648) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,648) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(42,648) = ( 42 × 648 ) / 6
LCM(42,648) = 27216 / 6
LCM(42,648) = 4536
