Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 598/12,2444/983
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 598,2444
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 598,2444 is 26 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,983 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,983 is 11796 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 598,2444
2 | 598, 2444 |
13 | 299, 1222 |
23, 94 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 13 = 26

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 598,2444 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 598,2444 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11796
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/11796
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/12,2444/983 is 26/11796
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 12,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,983) = ( 12 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(12,983) = 11796 / 1
LCM(12,983) = 11796
