Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 531/58,8609/402
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 531,8609
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 531,8609 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,402 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,402 is 11658 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 531,8609
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,59,177,531
Factors of 8609
List of positive integer factors of 8609 that divides 8609 without a remainder.
1,8609
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 531,8609 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 531,8609 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,402
2 | 58, 402 |
29, 201 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 29 x 201 = 11658
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11658
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 531/58,8609/402 is 1/11658
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 58,402 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,402) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,402) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(58,402) = ( 58 × 402 ) / 2
LCM(58,402) = 23316 / 2
LCM(58,402) = 11658
