Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 209/46,550/1361
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 209,550
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 209,550 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,1361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,1361 is 62606 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 209,550
11 | 209, 550 |
19, 50 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

1,11,19,209
Factors of 550
List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 209,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 209,550 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,1361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 62606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/62606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 209/46,550/1361 is 11/62606
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 46,1361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,1361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,1361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,1361) = ( 46 × 1361 ) / 1
LCM(46,1361) = 62606 / 1
LCM(46,1361) = 62606
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
