Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 55/570,55/381
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 55,55
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 55,55 is 55 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 570,381 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 570,381 is 72390 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,55
5 | 55, 55 |
11 | 11, 11 |
1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 11 = 55
Factors of 55

Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,55 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,55 is 55.
Lets's calculate LCM of 570,381
3 | 570, 381 |
190, 127 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 190 x 127 = 72390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 55/72390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/570,55/381 is 55/72390
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 570,381 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(570,381) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(570,381) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(570,381) = ( 570 × 381 ) / 3
LCM(570,381) = 217170 / 3
LCM(570,381) = 72390
