Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3017/57,3521/951
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 3017,3521
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3017,3521 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 57,951 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 57,951 is 18069 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3017,3521
7 | 3017, 3521 |
431, 503 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7
Factors of 3017

1,7,431,3017
Factors of 3521
List of positive integer factors of 3521 that divides 3521 without a remainder.
1,7,503,3521
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3017,3521 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3017,3521 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 57,951
3 | 57, 951 |
19, 317 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 19 x 317 = 18069
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/18069
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3017/57,3521/951 is 7/18069
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 57,951 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(57,951) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(57,951) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(57,951) = ( 57 × 951 ) / 3
LCM(57,951) = 54207 / 3
LCM(57,951) = 18069
