Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 228/535,1302/576
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 228,1302
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 228,1302 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 535,576 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 535,576 is 308160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 228,1302
2 | 228, 1302 |
3 | 114, 651 |
38, 217 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Factors of 1302
List of positive integer factors of 1302 that divides 1302 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,31,42,62,93,186,217,434,651,1302
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 228,1302 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 228,1302 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 535,576
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 308160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/308160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/535,1302/576 is 6/308160
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 535,576 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(535,576) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(535,576) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(535,576) = ( 535 × 576 ) / 1
LCM(535,576) = 308160 / 1
LCM(535,576) = 308160
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
