Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 522/74,621/538
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 522,621
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 522,621 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,538 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,538 is 19906 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 522,621
3 | 522, 621 |
3 | 174, 207 |
58, 69 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,3,9,23,27,69,207,621
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 522,621 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 522,621 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,538
2 | 74, 538 |
37, 269 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 269 = 19906
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/19906
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 522/74,621/538 is 9/19906
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 74,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,538) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,538) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,538) = ( 74 × 538 ) / 2
LCM(74,538) = 39812 / 2
LCM(74,538) = 19906
