Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 161/515,5538/741
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 161,5538
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 161,5538 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 515,741 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 515,741 is 381615 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 161,5538
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 5538
List of positive integer factors of 5538 that divides 5538 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,13,26,39,71,78,142,213,426,923,1846,2769,5538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 161,5538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 161,5538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 515,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 381615
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/381615
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 161/515,5538/741 is 1/381615
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 515,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(515,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(515,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(515,741) = ( 515 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(515,741) = 381615 / 1
LCM(515,741) = 381615
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
