Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 606/17,686/401
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 606,686
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 606,686 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,401 is 6817 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 606,686
2 | 606, 686 |
303, 343 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 686
List of positive integer factors of 686 that divides 686 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,49,98,343,686
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 606,686 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 606,686 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6817
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6817
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 606/17,686/401 is 2/6817
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 17,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,401) = ( 17 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(17,401) = 6817 / 1
LCM(17,401) = 6817
