Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 582/41,360/406
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 582,360
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 582,360 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,406 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,406 is 16646 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 582,360
2 | 582, 360 |
3 | 291, 180 |
97, 60 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Factors of 360
List of positive integer factors of 360 that divides 360 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,72,90,120,180,360
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 582,360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 582,360 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/16646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 582/41,360/406 is 6/16646
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 41,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,406) = ( 41 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(41,406) = 16646 / 1
LCM(41,406) = 16646
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
