Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5997/88,1461/576
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 5997,1461
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5997,1461 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 88,576 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 88,576 is 6336 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5997,1461
3 | 5997, 1461 |
1999, 487 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 1461
List of positive integer factors of 1461 that divides 1461 without a remainder.
1,3,487,1461
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5997,1461 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5997,1461 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,576
2 | 88, 576 |
2 | 44, 288 |
2 | 22, 144 |
11, 72 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 11 x 72 = 6336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5997/88,1461/576 is 3/6336
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 88,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,576) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,576) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(88,576) = ( 88 × 576 ) / 8
LCM(88,576) = 50688 / 8
LCM(88,576) = 6336
