Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 585/72,572/311
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 585,572
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 585,572 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,311 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,311 is 22392 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 585,572
13 | 585, 572 |
45, 44 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13

List of positive integer factors of 572 that divides 572 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,13,22,26,44,52,143,286,572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 585,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 585,572 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,311
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/22392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 585/72,572/311 is 13/22392
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 72,311 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,311) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,311) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(72,311) = ( 72 × 311 ) / 1
LCM(72,311) = 22392 / 1
LCM(72,311) = 22392
