Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 658/97,588/521
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 658,588
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 658,588 is 14 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,521 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,521 is 50537 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 658,588
2 | 658, 588 |
7 | 329, 294 |
47, 42 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 7 = 14

1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,49,84,98,147,196,294,588
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 658,588 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 658,588 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50537
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/50537
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 658/97,588/521 is 14/50537
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 97,521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,521) = ( 97 × 521 ) / 1
LCM(97,521) = 50537 / 1
LCM(97,521) = 50537
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
