Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 254/15,5990/946
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 254,5990
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 254,5990 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,946 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,946 is 14190 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 254,5990
2 | 254, 5990 |
127, 2995 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,127,254
Factors of 5990
List of positive integer factors of 5990 that divides 5990 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,599,1198,2995,5990
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 254,5990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 254,5990 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14190
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14190
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 254/15,5990/946 is 2/14190
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 15,946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,946) = ( 15 × 946 ) / 1
LCM(15,946) = 14190 / 1
LCM(15,946) = 14190
