Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1608/55,1091/591
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 1608,1091
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1608,1091 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,591 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,591 is 32505 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1608,1091
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 1608 that divides 1608 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,67,134,201,268,402,536,804,1608
Factors of 1091
List of positive integer factors of 1091 that divides 1091 without a remainder.
1,1091
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1608,1091 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1608,1091 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32505
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32505
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1608/55,1091/591 is 1/32505
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 55,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,591) = ( 55 × 591 ) / 1
LCM(55,591) = 32505 / 1
LCM(55,591) = 32505
