Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 960/26,1500/237
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 960,1500
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 960,1500 is 60 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,237 is 6162 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 960,1500
2 | 960, 1500 |
2 | 480, 750 |
3 | 240, 375 |
5 | 80, 125 |
16, 25 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Factors of 1500
List of positive integer factors of 1500 that divides 1500 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,25,30,50,60,75,100,125,150,250,300,375,500,750,1500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 960,1500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 960,1500 is 60.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 60/6162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 960/26,1500/237 is 60/6162
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 26,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,237) = ( 26 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(26,237) = 6162 / 1
LCM(26,237) = 6162
