Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 521/440,557/565
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 521,557
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 521,557 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 440,565 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 440,565 is 49720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 521,557
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,521
Factors of 557
List of positive integer factors of 557 that divides 557 without a remainder.
1,557
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 521,557 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 521,557 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 440,565
5 | 440, 565 |
88, 113 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 88 x 113 = 49720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/49720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 521/440,557/565 is 1/49720
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 440,565 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(440,565) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(440,565) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(440,565) = ( 440 × 565 ) / 5
LCM(440,565) = 248600 / 5
LCM(440,565) = 49720
