Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 598/77,253/5002
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 598,253
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 598,253 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,5002 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,5002 is 385154 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 598,253
23 | 598, 253 |
26, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

Factors of 253
List of positive integer factors of 253 that divides 253 without a remainder.
1,11,23,253
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 598,253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 598,253 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,5002
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 385154
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/385154
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 598/77,253/5002 is 23/385154
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 77,5002 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,5002) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,5002) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,5002) = ( 77 × 5002 ) / 1
LCM(77,5002) = 385154 / 1
LCM(77,5002) = 385154
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
