Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1891/16,6595/172
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 1891,6595
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1891,6595 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,172 is 688 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1891,6595
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 6595
List of positive integer factors of 6595 that divides 6595 without a remainder.
1,5,1319,6595
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1891,6595 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1891,6595 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,172
2 | 16, 172 |
2 | 8, 86 |
4, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 4 x 43 = 688
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/688
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1891/16,6595/172 is 1/688
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 16,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(16,172) = ( 16 × 172 ) / 4
LCM(16,172) = 2752 / 4
LCM(16,172) = 688
