Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 438/37,488/1526
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 438,488
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 438,488 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,1526 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,1526 is 56462 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 438,488
2 | 438, 488 |
219, 244 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 488
List of positive integer factors of 488 that divides 488 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,61,122,244,488
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 438,488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 438,488 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,1526
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 56462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/56462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/37,488/1526 is 2/56462
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 37,1526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,1526) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,1526) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,1526) = ( 37 × 1526 ) / 1
LCM(37,1526) = 56462 / 1
LCM(37,1526) = 56462
