Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 438/80,554/269
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 438,554
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 438,554 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 80,269 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 80,269 is 21520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 438,554
2 | 438, 554 |
219, 277 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Factors of 554
List of positive integer factors of 554 that divides 554 without a remainder.
1,2,277,554
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 438,554 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 438,554 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 80,269
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/21520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/80,554/269 is 2/21520
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 80,269 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,269) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(80,269) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(80,269) = ( 80 × 269 ) / 1
LCM(80,269) = 21520 / 1
LCM(80,269) = 21520
