Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 518/30,150/633
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 518,150
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 518,150 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 30,633 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 30,633 is 6330 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 518,150
2 | 518, 150 |
259, 75 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 518 that divides 518 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Factors of 150
List of positive integer factors of 150 that divides 150 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,10,15,25,30,50,75,150
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 518,150 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 518,150 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,633
3 | 30, 633 |
10, 211 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 10 x 211 = 6330
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6330
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/30,150/633 is 2/6330
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 30,633 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,633) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,633) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(30,633) = ( 30 × 633 ) / 3
LCM(30,633) = 18990 / 3
LCM(30,633) = 6330
