Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 521/587,8004/588
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 521,8004
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 521,8004 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 587,588 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 587,588 is 345156 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 521,8004
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 521,8004 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 521,8004 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,588
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 345156
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/345156
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 521/587,8004/588 is 1/345156
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 587,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,588) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,588) = ( 587 × 588 ) / 1
LCM(587,588) = 345156 / 1
LCM(587,588) = 345156
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
