Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 308/44,516/125
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 308,516
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 308,516 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,125 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,125 is 5500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 308,516
2 | 308, 516 |
2 | 154, 258 |
77, 129 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,7,11,14,22,28,44,77,154,308
Factors of 516
List of positive integer factors of 516 that divides 516 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,43,86,129,172,258,516
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 308,516 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 308,516 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 308/44,516/125 is 4/5500
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 44,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,125) = ( 44 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(44,125) = 5500 / 1
LCM(44,125) = 5500
