Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 248/51,476/1999
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 248,476
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 248,476 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 51,1999 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 51,1999 is 101949 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 248,476
2 | 248, 476 |
2 | 124, 238 |
62, 119 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,8,31,62,124,248
Factors of 476
List of positive integer factors of 476 that divides 476 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,17,28,34,68,119,238,476
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 248,476 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,476 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 51,1999
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 101949
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/101949
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/51,476/1999 is 4/101949
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 51,1999 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(51,1999) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(51,1999) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(51,1999) = ( 51 × 1999 ) / 1
LCM(51,1999) = 101949 / 1
LCM(51,1999) = 101949
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
