Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2589/31,5169/586
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 2589,5169
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2589,5169 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,586 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,586 is 18166 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2589,5169
3 | 2589, 5169 |
863, 1723 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 2589 that divides 2589 without a remainder.
1,3,863,2589
Factors of 5169
List of positive integer factors of 5169 that divides 5169 without a remainder.
1,3,1723,5169
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2589,5169 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2589,5169 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,586
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18166
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/18166
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2589/31,5169/586 is 3/18166
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 31,586 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,586) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,586) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,586) = ( 31 × 586 ) / 1
LCM(31,586) = 18166 / 1
LCM(31,586) = 18166
