Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3647/20,1585/472
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 3647,1585
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3647,1585 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,472 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,472 is 2360 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3647,1585
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 1585 that divides 1585 without a remainder.
1,5,317,1585
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3647,1585 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3647,1585 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,472
2 | 20, 472 |
2 | 10, 236 |
5, 118 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 118 = 2360
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2360
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3647/20,1585/472 is 1/2360
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 20,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,472) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(20,472) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(20,472) = ( 20 × 472 ) / 4
LCM(20,472) = 9440 / 4
LCM(20,472) = 2360
