Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 597/37,693/155
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 597,693
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 597,693 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,155 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,155 is 5735 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 597,693
3 | 597, 693 |
199, 231 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,199,597
Factors of 693
List of positive integer factors of 693 that divides 693 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,11,21,33,63,77,99,231,693
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 597,693 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 597,693 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,155
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5735
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/5735
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 597/37,693/155 is 3/5735
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 37,155 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,155) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,155) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,155) = ( 37 × 155 ) / 1
LCM(37,155) = 5735 / 1
LCM(37,155) = 5735
