Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 42/791,5416/1184
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 42,5416
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 42,5416 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 791,1184 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 791,1184 is 936544 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 42,5416
2 | 42, 5416 |
21, 2708 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 5416 that divides 5416 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,677,1354,2708,5416
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,5416 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,5416 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 791,1184
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 936544
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/936544
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/791,5416/1184 is 2/936544
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 791,1184 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(791,1184) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(791,1184) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(791,1184) = ( 791 × 1184 ) / 1
LCM(791,1184) = 936544 / 1
LCM(791,1184) = 936544
