Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 518/953,438/488
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 518,438
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 518,438 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 953,488 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 953,488 is 465064 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 518,438
2 | 518, 438 |
259, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Factors of 438
List of positive integer factors of 438 that divides 438 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 518,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 518,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 953,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 465064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/465064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/953,438/488 is 2/465064
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 953,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(953,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(953,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(953,488) = ( 953 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(953,488) = 465064 / 1
LCM(953,488) = 465064
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
