Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 585/38,345/879
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 585,345
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 585,345 is 15 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 38,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 38,879 is 33402 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 585,345
3 | 585, 345 |
5 | 195, 115 |
39, 23 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 5 = 15

Factors of 345
List of positive integer factors of 345 that divides 345 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,23,69,115,345
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 585,345 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 585,345 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 38,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33402
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/33402
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/38,345/879 is 15/33402
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 38,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(38,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(38,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(38,879) = ( 38 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(38,879) = 33402 / 1
LCM(38,879) = 33402
