Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 585/237,1259/452
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 585,1259
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 585,1259 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 237,452 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 237,452 is 107124 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 585,1259
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 585 that divides 585 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,13,15,39,45,65,117,195,585
Factors of 1259
List of positive integer factors of 1259 that divides 1259 without a remainder.
1,1259
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 585,1259 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 585,1259 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 237,452
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 107124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/107124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/237,1259/452 is 1/107124
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 237,452 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,452) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,452) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,452) = ( 237 × 452 ) / 1
LCM(237,452) = 107124 / 1
LCM(237,452) = 107124
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
