Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 117/37,549/539
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 117,549
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 117,549 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,539 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,539 is 19943 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 117,549
3 | 117, 549 |
3 | 39, 183 |
13, 61 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

List of positive integer factors of 117 that divides 117 without a remainder.
1,3,9,13,39,117
Factors of 549
List of positive integer factors of 549 that divides 549 without a remainder.
1,3,9,61,183,549
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 117,549 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 117,549 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19943
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/19943
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 117/37,549/539 is 9/19943
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 37,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,539) = ( 37 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(37,539) = 19943 / 1
LCM(37,539) = 19943
