Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 185/291,1858/525
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 185,1858
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 185,1858 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 291,525 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 291,525 is 50925 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 185,1858
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,5,37,185
Factors of 1858
List of positive integer factors of 1858 that divides 1858 without a remainder.
1,2,929,1858
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 185,1858 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 185,1858 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 291,525
3 | 291, 525 |
97, 175 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 97 x 175 = 50925
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/50925
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 185/291,1858/525 is 1/50925
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 291,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(291,525) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(291,525) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(291,525) = ( 291 × 525 ) / 3
LCM(291,525) = 152775 / 3
LCM(291,525) = 50925
