Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 490/52,235/1525
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 490,235
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 490,235 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,1525 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,1525 is 79300 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 490,235
5 | 490, 235 |
98, 47 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

List of positive integer factors of 490 that divides 490 without a remainder.
1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Factors of 235
List of positive integer factors of 235 that divides 235 without a remainder.
1,5,47,235
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,235 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,235 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,1525
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/79300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/52,235/1525 is 5/79300
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 52,1525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,1525) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,1525) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(52,1525) = ( 52 × 1525 ) / 1
LCM(52,1525) = 79300 / 1
LCM(52,1525) = 79300
