Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4419/37,1071/150
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 4419,1071
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4419,1071 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,150 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,150 is 5550 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4419,1071
3 | 4419, 1071 |
3 | 1473, 357 |
491, 119 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,3,9,491,1473,4419
Factors of 1071
List of positive integer factors of 1071 that divides 1071 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,17,21,51,63,119,153,357,1071
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4419,1071 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4419,1071 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,150
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/5550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4419/37,1071/150 is 9/5550
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 37,150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,150) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,150) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,150) = ( 37 × 150 ) / 1
LCM(37,150) = 5550 / 1
LCM(37,150) = 5550
