Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 444/152,597/981
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 444,597
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 444,597 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 152,981 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 152,981 is 149112 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 444,597
3 | 444, 597 |
148, 199 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 444 that divides 444 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,37,74,111,148,222,444
Factors of 597
List of positive integer factors of 597 that divides 597 without a remainder.
1,3,199,597
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 444,597 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 444,597 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 152,981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/149112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 444/152,597/981 is 3/149112
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 152,981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(152,981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(152,981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(152,981) = ( 152 × 981 ) / 1
LCM(152,981) = 149112 / 1
LCM(152,981) = 149112
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
