Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 167/57,532/1542
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 167,532
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 167,532 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 57,1542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 57,1542 is 29298 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 167,532
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,7,14,19,28,38,76,133,266,532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 167,532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 167,532 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,1542
3 | 57, 1542 |
19, 514 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 514 = 29298
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29298
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 167/57,532/1542 is 1/29298
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 57,1542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,1542) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,1542) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(57,1542) = ( 57 × 1542 ) / 3
LCM(57,1542) = 87894 / 3
LCM(57,1542) = 29298
