Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1569/40,3781/516
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 1569,3781
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1569,3781 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,516 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,516 is 5160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1569,3781
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,523,1569
Factors of 3781
List of positive integer factors of 3781 that divides 3781 without a remainder.
1,19,199,3781
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1569,3781 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1569,3781 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,516
2 | 40, 516 |
2 | 20, 258 |
10, 129 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 129 = 5160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1569/40,3781/516 is 1/5160
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 40,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,516) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,516) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,516) = ( 40 × 516 ) / 4
LCM(40,516) = 20640 / 4
LCM(40,516) = 5160
