Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 588/35,858/116
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 588,858
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 588,858 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,116 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,116 is 4060 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 588,858
2 | 588, 858 |
3 | 294, 429 |
98, 143 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

We found the factors 588,858 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 588,858 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,116
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/4060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 588/35,858/116 is 6/4060
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 35,116 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,116) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,116) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,116) = ( 35 × 116 ) / 1
LCM(35,116) = 4060 / 1
LCM(35,116) = 4060
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
