Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 316/41,5892/516
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 316,5892
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 316,5892 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,516 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,516 is 21156 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 316,5892
2 | 316, 5892 |
2 | 158, 2946 |
79, 1473 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

List of positive integer factors of 5892 that divides 5892 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,491,982,1473,1964,2946,5892
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 316,5892 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 316,5892 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/21156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 316/41,5892/516 is 4/21156
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 41,516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,516) = ( 41 × 516 ) / 1
LCM(41,516) = 21156 / 1
LCM(41,516) = 21156
