Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 550/176,321/406
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 550,321
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 550,321 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 176,406 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 176,406 is 35728 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 550,321
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Factors of 321
List of positive integer factors of 321 that divides 321 without a remainder.
1,3,107,321
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 550,321 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 550,321 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,406
2 | 176, 406 |
88, 203 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 88 x 203 = 35728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 550/176,321/406 is 1/35728
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 176,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,406) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,406) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(176,406) = ( 176 × 406 ) / 2
LCM(176,406) = 71456 / 2
LCM(176,406) = 35728
