Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5983/15,2964/421
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 5983,2964
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5983,2964 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,421 is 6315 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5983,2964
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 2964 that divides 2964 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,19,26,38,39,52,57,76,78,114,156,228,247,494,741,988,1482,2964
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5983,2964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5983,2964 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5983/15,2964/421 is 1/6315
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 15,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,421) = ( 15 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(15,421) = 6315 / 1
LCM(15,421) = 6315
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
