Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 970/52,540/981
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 970,540
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 970,540 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,981 is 51012 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 970,540
2 | 970, 540 |
5 | 485, 270 |
97, 54 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

List of positive integer factors of 540 that divides 540 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,10,12,15,18,20,27,30,36,45,54,60,90,108,135,180,270,540
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 970,540 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 970,540 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/51012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/52,540/981 is 10/51012
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 52,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,981) = ( 52 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(52,981) = 51012 / 1
LCM(52,981) = 51012
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
