Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 345/639,4971/158
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 345,4971
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 345,4971 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 639,158 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 639,158 is 100962 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 345,4971
3 | 345, 4971 |
115, 1657 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 4971
List of positive integer factors of 4971 that divides 4971 without a remainder.
1,3,1657,4971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 345,4971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 345,4971 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 639,158
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 100962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/100962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 345/639,4971/158 is 3/100962
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 639,158 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(639,158) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(639,158) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(639,158) = ( 639 × 158 ) / 1
LCM(639,158) = 100962 / 1
LCM(639,158) = 100962
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
