Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 597/173,3383/625
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 597,3383
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 597,3383 is 199 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,625 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,625 is 108125 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 597,3383
199 | 597, 3383 |
3, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 199 = 199

1,3,199,597
Factors of 3383
List of positive integer factors of 3383 that divides 3383 without a remainder.
1,17,199,3383
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 597,3383 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 597,3383 is 199.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,625
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 199/108125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 597/173,3383/625 is 199/108125
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 173,625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,625) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,625) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,625) = ( 173 × 625 ) / 1
LCM(173,625) = 108125 / 1
LCM(173,625) = 108125
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
