Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 591/46,279/704
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 591,279
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 591,279 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,704 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,704 is 16192 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 591,279
3 | 591, 279 |
197, 93 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 591

1,3,197,591
Factors of 279
List of positive integer factors of 279 that divides 279 without a remainder.
1,3,9,31,93,279
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 591,279 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 591,279 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,704
2 | 46, 704 |
23, 352 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 352 = 16192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 591/46,279/704 is 3/16192
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 46,704 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,704) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,704) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,704) = ( 46 × 704 ) / 2
LCM(46,704) = 32384 / 2
LCM(46,704) = 16192
