Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 96/556,225/375
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 96,225
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 96,225 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 556,375 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 556,375 is 208500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,225
3 | 96, 225 |
32, 75 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 96 that divides 96 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 225
List of positive integer factors of 225 that divides 225 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,25,45,75,225
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,225 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,225 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,375
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 208500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/208500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/556,225/375 is 3/208500
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 556,375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,375) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,375) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,375) = ( 556 × 375 ) / 1
LCM(556,375) = 208500 / 1
LCM(556,375) = 208500
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
