Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 539/957,196/986
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 539,196
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 539,196 is 49 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 957,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 957,986 is 32538 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 539,196
7 | 539, 196 |
7 | 77, 28 |
11, 4 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 x 7 = 49

List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Factors of 196
List of positive integer factors of 196 that divides 196 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,28,49,98,196
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,196 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,196 is 49.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,986
29 | 957, 986 |
33, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 29 x 33 x 34 = 32538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/32538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/957,196/986 is 49/32538
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 957,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,986) = 29
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,986) x common factors =29 x 1 = 29
LCM(957,986) = ( 957 × 986 ) / 29
LCM(957,986) = 943602 / 29
LCM(957,986) = 32538
