Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 164/291,5537/582
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 164,5537
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 164,5537 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 291,582 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 291,582 is 582 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 164,5537
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 5537
List of positive integer factors of 5537 that divides 5537 without a remainder.
1,7,49,113,791,5537
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 164,5537 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,5537 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 291,582
3 | 291, 582 |
97 | 97, 194 |
1, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 1 x 2 = 582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/291,5537/582 is 1/582
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 291,582 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,582) = 291
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,582) x common factors =291 x 1 = 291
LCM(291,582) = ( 291 × 582 ) / 291
LCM(291,582) = 169362 / 291
LCM(291,582) = 582
