Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 295/572,3422/115
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 295,3422
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 295,3422 is 59 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 572,115 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 572,115 is 65780 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 295,3422
59 | 295, 3422 |
5, 58 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 59 = 59

1,5,59,295
Factors of 3422
List of positive integer factors of 3422 that divides 3422 without a remainder.
1,2,29,58,59,118,1711,3422
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 295,3422 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 295,3422 is 59.
Lets's calculate LCM of 572,115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 59/65780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/572,3422/115 is 59/65780
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 572,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(572,115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(572,115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(572,115) = ( 572 × 115 ) / 1
LCM(572,115) = 65780 / 1
LCM(572,115) = 65780
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
