Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 575/14,5543/979
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 575,5543
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 575,5543 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,979 is 13706 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 575,5543
23 | 575, 5543 |
25, 241 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

Factors of 5543
List of positive integer factors of 5543 that divides 5543 without a remainder.
1,23,241,5543
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 575,5543 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 575,5543 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 13706
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/13706
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 575/14,5543/979 is 23/13706
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 14,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,979) = ( 14 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(14,979) = 13706 / 1
LCM(14,979) = 13706
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
