Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 712/41,292/5043
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 712,292
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 712,292 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,5043 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,5043 is 5043 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 712,292
2 | 712, 292 |
2 | 356, 146 |
178, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 292
List of positive integer factors of 292 that divides 292 without a remainder.
1,2,4,73,146,292
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 712,292 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,292 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,5043
41 | 41, 5043 |
1, 123 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 41 x 1 x 123 = 5043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/41,292/5043 is 4/5043
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 41,5043 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,5043) = 41
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,5043) x common factors =41 x 1 = 41
LCM(41,5043) = ( 41 × 5043 ) / 41
LCM(41,5043) = 206763 / 41
LCM(41,5043) = 5043
