Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 558/16,9603/195
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 558,9603
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 558,9603 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,195 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,195 is 3120 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 558,9603
3 | 558, 9603 |
3 | 186, 3201 |
62, 1067 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,3,9,11,33,97,99,291,873,1067,3201,9603
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 558,9603 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 558,9603 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,195
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/3120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 558/16,9603/195 is 9/3120
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 16,195 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,195) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(16,195) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(16,195) = ( 16 × 195 ) / 1
LCM(16,195) = 3120 / 1
LCM(16,195) = 3120
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
