Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1596/38,1372/349
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 1596,1372
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1596,1372 is 28 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,349 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,349 is 13262 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1596,1372
2 | 1596, 1372 |
2 | 798, 686 |
7 | 399, 343 |
57, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 = 28

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1596,1372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1596,1372 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,349
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13262
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/13262
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1596/38,1372/349 is 28/13262
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 38,349 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,349) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,349) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,349) = ( 38 × 349 ) / 1
LCM(38,349) = 13262 / 1
LCM(38,349) = 13262
