Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 368/101,6371/591
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 368,6371
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 368,6371 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 101,591 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 101,591 is 59691 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 368,6371
23 | 368, 6371 |
16, 277 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

1,2,4,8,16,23,46,92,184,368
Factors of 6371
List of positive integer factors of 6371 that divides 6371 without a remainder.
1,23,277,6371
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 368,6371 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 368,6371 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59691
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/59691
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 368/101,6371/591 is 23/59691
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 101,591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,591) = ( 101 × 591 ) / 1
LCM(101,591) = 59691 / 1
LCM(101,591) = 59691
