Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 525/730,833/587
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 525,833
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 525,833 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 730,587 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 730,587 is 428510 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 525,833
7 | 525, 833 |
75, 119 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Factors of 833
List of positive integer factors of 833 that divides 833 without a remainder.
1,7,17,49,119,833
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 525,833 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 525,833 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 730,587
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 428510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/428510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/730,833/587 is 7/428510
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 730,587 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(730,587) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(730,587) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(730,587) = ( 730 × 587 ) / 1
LCM(730,587) = 428510 / 1
LCM(730,587) = 428510
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
