Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 656/14,498/361
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 656,498
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 656,498 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,361 is 5054 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 656,498
2 | 656, 498 |
328, 249 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Factors of 498
List of positive integer factors of 498 that divides 498 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,83,166,249,498
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 656,498 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 656,498 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/14,498/361 is 2/5054
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 14,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,361) = ( 14 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(14,361) = 5054 / 1
LCM(14,361) = 5054
