Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 611/389,1599/426
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 611,1599
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 611,1599 is 13 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 389,426 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 389,426 is 165714 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 611,1599
13 | 611, 1599 |
47, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 13 = 13
Factors of 611

1,13,47,611
Factors of 1599
List of positive integer factors of 1599 that divides 1599 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,41,123,533,1599
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 611,1599 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 611,1599 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 165714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/165714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 611/389,1599/426 is 13/165714
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 389,426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,426) = ( 389 × 426 ) / 1
LCM(389,426) = 165714 / 1
LCM(389,426) = 165714
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
