Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 500/44,250/161
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 500,250
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 500,250 is 250 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 44,161 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 44,161 is 7084 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 500,250
2 | 500, 250 |
5 | 250, 125 |
5 | 50, 25 |
5 | 10, 5 |
2, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 250

1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Factors of 250
List of positive integer factors of 250 that divides 250 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 500,250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 500,250 is 250.
Lets's calculate LCM of 44,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7084
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 250/7084
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 500/44,250/161 is 250/7084
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 44,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(44,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(44,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(44,161) = ( 44 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(44,161) = 7084 / 1
LCM(44,161) = 7084
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
