Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/464,539/996
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 37,539
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,539 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 464,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 464,996 is 115536 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,539
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 37

1,37
Factors of 539
List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 464,996
2 | 464, 996 |
2 | 232, 498 |
116, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 116 x 249 = 115536
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115536
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/464,539/996 is 1/115536
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 464,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(464,996) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(464,996) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(464,996) = ( 464 × 996 ) / 4
LCM(464,996) = 462144 / 4
LCM(464,996) = 115536
