Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5811/59,2086/500
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 5811,2086
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5811,2086 is 149 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 59,500 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 59,500 is 29500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5811,2086
149 | 5811, 2086 |
39, 14 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 149 = 149

1,3,13,39,149,447,1937,5811
Factors of 2086
List of positive integer factors of 2086 that divides 2086 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,149,298,1043,2086
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5811,2086 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5811,2086 is 149.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 149/29500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5811/59,2086/500 is 149/29500
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 59,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(59,500) = ( 59 × 500 ) / 1
LCM(59,500) = 29500 / 1
LCM(59,500) = 29500
