Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 586/429,572/851
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 586,572
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 586,572 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 429,851 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 429,851 is 365079 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 586,572
2 | 586, 572 |
293, 286 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,293,586
Factors of 572
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 586,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 586,572 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 365079
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/365079
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 586/429,572/851 is 2/365079
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 429,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,851) = ( 429 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(429,851) = 365079 / 1
LCM(429,851) = 365079
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
