Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 552/98,943/563
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 552,943
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 552,943 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,563 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,563 is 55174 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 552,943
23 | 552, 943 |
24, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,23,24,46,69,92,138,184,276,552
Factors of 943
List of positive integer factors of 943 that divides 943 without a remainder.
1,23,41,943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 552,943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 552,943 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 55174
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/55174
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/98,943/563 is 23/55174
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 98,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,563) = ( 98 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(98,563) = 55174 / 1
LCM(98,563) = 55174
