Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 616/12,187/559
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 616,187
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 616,187 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,559 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,559 is 6708 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 616,187
11 | 616, 187 |
56, 17 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

1,2,4,7,8,11,14,22,28,44,56,77,88,154,308,616
Factors of 187
List of positive integer factors of 187 that divides 187 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 616,187 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 616,187 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,559
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6708
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/6708
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 616/12,187/559 is 11/6708
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 12,559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,559) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,559) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,559) = ( 12 × 559 ) / 1
LCM(12,559) = 6708 / 1
LCM(12,559) = 6708
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
