Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5158/636,1971/835
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 5158,1971
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5158,1971 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 636,835 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 636,835 is 531060 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5158,1971
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 5158 that divides 5158 without a remainder.
1,2,2579,5158
Factors of 1971
List of positive integer factors of 1971 that divides 1971 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,73,219,657,1971
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5158,1971 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5158,1971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 636,835
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 531060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/531060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5158/636,1971/835 is 1/531060
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 636,835 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(636,835) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(636,835) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(636,835) = ( 636 × 835 ) / 1
LCM(636,835) = 531060 / 1
LCM(636,835) = 531060
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
