Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 965/30,1855/492
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 965,1855
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 965,1855 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 30,492 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 30,492 is 2460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 965,1855
5 | 965, 1855 |

1,5,7,35,53,265,371,1855
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 965,1855 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 965,1855 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,492
2 | 30, 492 |
3 | 15, 246 |
5, 82 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 82 = 2460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 965/30,1855/492 is 5/2460
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 30,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,492) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,492) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(30,492) = ( 30 × 492 ) / 6
LCM(30,492) = 14760 / 6
LCM(30,492) = 2460
