Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 196/43,525/388
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 196,525
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 196,525 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,388 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,388 is 16684 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 196,525
7 | 196, 525 |
28, 75 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Factors of 525
List of positive integer factors of 525 that divides 525 without a remainder.
1,3,5,7,15,21,25,35,75,105,175,525
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,525 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,525 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,388
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/16684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/43,525/388 is 7/16684
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 43,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,388) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,388) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,388) = ( 43 × 388 ) / 1
LCM(43,388) = 16684 / 1
LCM(43,388) = 16684
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
