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 422,5506
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 422,5506 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 534,997 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 534,997 is 532398 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 422,5506
2 | 422, 5506 |
211, 2753 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 422 that divides 422 without a remainder.
1,2,211,422
Factors of 5506
List of positive integer factors of 5506 that divides 5506 without a remainder.
1,2,2753,5506
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 422,5506 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 422,5506 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 532398
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/532398
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 422/534,5506/997 is 2/532398
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 534,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(534,997) = ( 534 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(534,997) = 532398 / 1
LCM(534,997) = 532398
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
