Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 522/197,550/259
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 522,550
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 522,550 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 197,259 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 197,259 is 51023 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 522,550
2 | 522, 550 |
261, 275 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,9,18,29,58,87,174,261,522
Factors of 550
List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 522,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 522,550 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 197,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51023
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51023
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 522/197,550/259 is 2/51023
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 197,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(197,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(197,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(197,259) = ( 197 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(197,259) = 51023 / 1
LCM(197,259) = 51023
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
