Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 701/16,539/1848
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 701,539
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 701,539 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,1848 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,1848 is 3696 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 701,539
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,701
Factors of 539
List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 701,539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 701,539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,1848
2 | 16, 1848 |
2 | 8, 924 |
2 | 4, 462 |
2, 231 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 231 = 3696
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3696
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 701/16,539/1848 is 1/3696
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 16,1848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,1848) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,1848) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(16,1848) = ( 16 × 1848 ) / 8
LCM(16,1848) = 29568 / 8
LCM(16,1848) = 3696
