Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 198/133,3531/303
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 198,3531
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 198,3531 is 33 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 133,303 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 133,303 is 40299 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 198,3531
3 | 198, 3531 |
11 | 66, 1177 |
6, 107 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 11 = 33

1,3,11,33,107,321,1177,3531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,3531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,3531 is 33.
Lets's calculate LCM of 133,303
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40299
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 33/40299
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/133,3531/303 is 33/40299
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 133,303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(133,303) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(133,303) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(133,303) = ( 133 × 303 ) / 1
LCM(133,303) = 40299 / 1
LCM(133,303) = 40299
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
