Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 544/179,838/535
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 544,838
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 544,838 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 179,535 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 179,535 is 95765 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 544,838
2 | 544, 838 |
272, 419 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,16,17,32,34,68,136,272,544
Factors of 838
List of positive integer factors of 838 that divides 838 without a remainder.
1,2,419,838
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 544,838 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 544,838 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 95765
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/95765
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 544/179,838/535 is 2/95765
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 179,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,535) = ( 179 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(179,535) = 95765 / 1
LCM(179,535) = 95765
