Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 237/587,1911/959
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 237,1911
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 237,1911 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 587,959 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 587,959 is 562933 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 237,1911
3 | 237, 1911 |
79, 637 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,7,13,21,39,49,91,147,273,637,1911
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 237,1911 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 237,1911 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 562933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/562933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 237/587,1911/959 is 3/562933
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 587,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,959) = ( 587 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(587,959) = 562933 / 1
LCM(587,959) = 562933
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
