Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5100/41,3188/978
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 5100,3188
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5100,3188 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,978 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,978 is 40098 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5100,3188
2 | 5100, 3188 |
2 | 2550, 1594 |
1275, 797 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 3188
List of positive integer factors of 3188 that divides 3188 without a remainder.
1,2,4,797,1594,3188
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5100,3188 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5100,3188 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40098
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/40098
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5100/41,3188/978 is 4/40098
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 41,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,978) = ( 41 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(41,978) = 40098 / 1
LCM(41,978) = 40098
