Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 286/58,377/398
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 286,377
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 286,377 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,398 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,398 is 11542 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 286,377
13 | 286, 377 |
22, 29 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 286,377 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 286,377 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,398
2 | 58, 398 |
29, 199 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 199 = 11542
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/11542
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 286/58,377/398 is 13/11542
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 58,398 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,398) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,398) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,398) = ( 58 × 398 ) / 2
LCM(58,398) = 23084 / 2
LCM(58,398) = 11542
