Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2231/15,6352/951
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 2231,6352
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2231,6352 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,951 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,951 is 4755 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2231,6352
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 6352
List of positive integer factors of 6352 that divides 6352 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,397,794,1588,3176,6352
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2231,6352 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2231,6352 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,951
3 | 15, 951 |
5, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 317 = 4755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2231/15,6352/951 is 1/4755
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 15,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,951) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,951) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(15,951) = ( 15 × 951 ) / 3
LCM(15,951) = 14265 / 3
LCM(15,951) = 4755
