Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 558/452,239/882
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 558,239
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 558,239 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 452,882 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 452,882 is 199332 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 558,239
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 558 that divides 558 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,31,62,93,186,279,558
Factors of 239
List of positive integer factors of 239 that divides 239 without a remainder.
1,239
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 558,239 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 558,239 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 452,882
2 | 452, 882 |
226, 441 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 226 x 441 = 199332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/199332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 558/452,239/882 is 1/199332
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 452,882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(452,882) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(452,882) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(452,882) = ( 452 × 882 ) / 2
LCM(452,882) = 398664 / 2
LCM(452,882) = 199332
