Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1912/66,1532/561
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 1912,1532
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1912,1532 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,561 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,561 is 1122 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1912,1532
2 | 1912, 1532 |
2 | 956, 766 |
478, 383 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,383,766,1532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1912,1532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1912,1532 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,561
3 | 66, 561 |
11 | 22, 187 |
2, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 2 x 17 = 1122
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1122
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1912/66,1532/561 is 4/1122
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 66,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,561) = 33
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,561) x common factors =33 x 1 = 33
LCM(66,561) = ( 66 × 561 ) / 33
LCM(66,561) = 37026 / 33
LCM(66,561) = 1122
