Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 498/55,306/8532
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 498,306
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 498,306 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,8532 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,8532 is 469260 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 498,306
2 | 498, 306 |
3 | 249, 153 |
83, 51 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

List of positive integer factors of 306 that divides 306 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,17,18,34,51,102,153,306
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 498,306 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 498,306 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,8532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 469260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/469260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 498/55,306/8532 is 6/469260
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 55,8532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,8532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,8532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,8532) = ( 55 × 8532 ) / 1
LCM(55,8532) = 469260 / 1
LCM(55,8532) = 469260
