Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 12/385,1152/6541
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 12,1152
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 12,1152 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 385,6541 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 385,6541 is 2518285 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,1152
2 | 12, 1152 |
2 | 6, 576 |
3 | 3, 288 |
1, 96 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Factors of 1152
List of positive integer factors of 1152 that divides 1152 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,32,36,48,64,72,96,128,144,192,288,384,576,1152
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,1152 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,1152 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 385,6541
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2518285
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/2518285
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/385,1152/6541 is 12/2518285
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 385,6541 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(385,6541) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(385,6541) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(385,6541) = ( 385 × 6541 ) / 1
LCM(385,6541) = 2518285 / 1
LCM(385,6541) = 2518285
