Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 507/59,168/1761
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 507,168
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 507,168 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,1761 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,1761 is 103899 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 507,168
3 | 507, 168 |
169, 56 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 507,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 507,168 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,1761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/103899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 507/59,168/1761 is 3/103899
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 59,1761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,1761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,1761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,1761) = ( 59 × 1761 ) / 1
LCM(59,1761) = 103899 / 1
LCM(59,1761) = 103899
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
