Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 549/40,873/549
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 549,873
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 549,873 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,549 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,549 is 21960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 549,873
3 | 549, 873 |
3 | 183, 291 |
61, 97 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

List of positive integer factors of 549 that divides 549 without a remainder.
1,3,9,61,183,549
Factors of 873
List of positive integer factors of 873 that divides 873 without a remainder.
1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 549,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 549,873 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,549
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/21960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/40,873/549 is 9/21960
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 40,549 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,549) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,549) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,549) = ( 40 × 549 ) / 1
LCM(40,549) = 21960 / 1
LCM(40,549) = 21960
