Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 495/35,471/572
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 495,471
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 495,471 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,572 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,572 is 20020 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 495,471
3 | 495, 471 |
165, 157 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,5,9,11,15,33,45,55,99,165,495
Factors of 471
List of positive integer factors of 471 that divides 471 without a remainder.
1,3,157,471
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 495,471 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 495,471 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 495/35,471/572 is 3/20020
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 35,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,572) = ( 35 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(35,572) = 20020 / 1
LCM(35,572) = 20020
