Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 8587/232,1457/585
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 8587,1457
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 8587,1457 is 31 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 232,585 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 232,585 is 135720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 8587,1457
31 | 8587, 1457 |
277, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 31 = 31

1,31,277,8587
Factors of 1457
List of positive integer factors of 1457 that divides 1457 without a remainder.
1,31,47,1457
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8587,1457 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8587,1457 is 31.
Lets's calculate LCM of 232,585
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 135720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/135720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8587/232,1457/585 is 31/135720
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 232,585 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(232,585) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(232,585) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(232,585) = ( 232 × 585 ) / 1
LCM(232,585) = 135720 / 1
LCM(232,585) = 135720
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
