Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5909/40,3659/482
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 5909,3659
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5909,3659 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,482 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,482 is 9640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5909,3659
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 5909 that divides 5909 without a remainder.
1,19,311,5909
Factors of 3659
List of positive integer factors of 3659 that divides 3659 without a remainder.
1,3659
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5909,3659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5909,3659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,482
2 | 40, 482 |
20, 241 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 241 = 9640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5909/40,3659/482 is 1/9640
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 40,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,482) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,482) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,482) = ( 40 × 482 ) / 2
LCM(40,482) = 19280 / 2
LCM(40,482) = 9640
