Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1191/32,7338/489
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 1191,7338
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1191,7338 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,489 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,489 is 15648 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1191,7338
3 | 1191, 7338 |
397, 2446 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 1191 that divides 1191 without a remainder.
1,3,397,1191
Factors of 7338
List of positive integer factors of 7338 that divides 7338 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,1223,2446,3669,7338
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1191,7338 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1191,7338 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15648
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/15648
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1191/32,7338/489 is 3/15648
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 32,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,489) = ( 32 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(32,489) = 15648 / 1
LCM(32,489) = 15648
