Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 337/48,587/879
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 337,587
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 337,587 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 48,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 48,879 is 14064 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 337,587
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 337

1,337
Factors of 587
List of positive integer factors of 587 that divides 587 without a remainder.
1,587
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 337,587 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 337,587 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,879
3 | 48, 879 |
16, 293 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 16 x 293 = 14064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/48,587/879 is 1/14064
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 48,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,879) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,879) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(48,879) = ( 48 × 879 ) / 3
LCM(48,879) = 42192 / 3
LCM(48,879) = 14064
