Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 222/503,969/625
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 222,969
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 222,969 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 503,625 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 503,625 is 314375 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 222,969
3 | 222, 969 |
74, 323 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Factors of 969
List of positive integer factors of 969 that divides 969 without a remainder.
1,3,17,19,51,57,323,969
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 222,969 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 222,969 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 503,625
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 314375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/314375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 222/503,969/625 is 3/314375
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 503,625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(503,625) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(503,625) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(503,625) = ( 503 × 625 ) / 1
LCM(503,625) = 314375 / 1
LCM(503,625) = 314375
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
