Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 525/559,265/159
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 525,265
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 525,265 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 559,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 559,159 is 88881 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 525,265
5 | 525, 265 |
105, 53 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,3,5,7,15,21,25,35,75,105,175,525
Factors of 265
List of positive integer factors of 265 that divides 265 without a remainder.
1,5,53,265
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 525,265 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 525,265 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 559,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88881
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/88881
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/559,265/159 is 5/88881
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 559,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(559,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(559,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(559,159) = ( 559 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(559,159) = 88881 / 1
LCM(559,159) = 88881
