Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/229,198/579
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 45,198
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,198 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 229,579 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 229,579 is 132591 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,198
3 | 45, 198 |
3 | 15, 66 |
5, 22 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 198
List of positive integer factors of 198 that divides 198 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,198 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,198 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 229,579
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132591
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/132591
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/229,198/579 is 9/132591
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 229,579 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(229,579) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(229,579) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(229,579) = ( 229 × 579 ) / 1
LCM(229,579) = 132591 / 1
LCM(229,579) = 132591
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
