Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 590/561,926/461
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 590,926
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 590,926 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 561,461 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 561,461 is 258621 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 590,926
2 | 590, 926 |
295, 463 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 590 that divides 590 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,59,118,295,590
Factors of 926
List of positive integer factors of 926 that divides 926 without a remainder.
1,2,463,926
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 590,926 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 590,926 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 561,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258621
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/258621
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 590/561,926/461 is 2/258621
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 561,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(561,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(561,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(561,461) = ( 561 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(561,461) = 258621 / 1
LCM(561,461) = 258621
