Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 281/418,9958/532
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 281,9958
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 281,9958 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 418,532 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 418,532 is 5852 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 281,9958
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,13,26,383,766,4979,9958
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 281,9958 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 281,9958 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 418,532
2 | 418, 532 |
19 | 209, 266 |
11, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 19 x 11 x 14 = 5852
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5852
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 281/418,9958/532 is 1/5852
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 418,532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(418,532) = 38
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(418,532) x common factors =38 x 1 = 38
LCM(418,532) = ( 418 × 532 ) / 38
LCM(418,532) = 222376 / 38
LCM(418,532) = 5852
