Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 535/294,1331/237
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 535,1331
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 535,1331 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 294,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 294,237 is 23226 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 535,1331
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1331
List of positive integer factors of 1331 that divides 1331 without a remainder.
1,11,121,1331
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 535,1331 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 535,1331 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 294,237
3 | 294, 237 |
98, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 98 x 79 = 23226
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23226
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 535/294,1331/237 is 1/23226
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 294,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,237) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,237) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(294,237) = ( 294 × 237 ) / 3
LCM(294,237) = 69678 / 3
LCM(294,237) = 23226
