Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 516/15,588/2197
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 516,588
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 516,588 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,2197 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,2197 is 32955 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 516,588
2 | 516, 588 |
2 | 258, 294 |
3 | 129, 147 |
43, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 516,588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 516,588 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,2197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32955
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/32955
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/15,588/2197 is 12/32955
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 15,2197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,2197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,2197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,2197) = ( 15 × 2197 ) / 1
LCM(15,2197) = 32955 / 1
LCM(15,2197) = 32955
