Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 447/532,117/548
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 447,117
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 447,117 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 532,548 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 532,548 is 72884 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 447,117
3 | 447, 117 |
149, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,9,13,39,117
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 447,117 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 447,117 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 532,548
2 | 532, 548 |
2 | 266, 274 |
133, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 133 x 137 = 72884
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/72884
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 447/532,117/548 is 3/72884
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 532,548 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,548) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,548) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(532,548) = ( 532 × 548 ) / 4
LCM(532,548) = 291536 / 4
LCM(532,548) = 72884
