Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 291/35,6477/950
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 291,6477
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 291,6477 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,950 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,950 is 6650 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 291,6477
3 | 291, 6477 |
97, 2159 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 6477
List of positive integer factors of 6477 that divides 6477 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51,127,381,2159,6477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 291,6477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 291,6477 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,950
5 | 35, 950 |
7, 190 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 190 = 6650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 291/35,6477/950 is 3/6650
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 35,950 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,950) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,950) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(35,950) = ( 35 × 950 ) / 5
LCM(35,950) = 33250 / 5
LCM(35,950) = 6650
