Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7500/505,1550/459
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 7500,1550
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7500,1550 is 50 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 505,459 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 505,459 is 231795 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7500,1550
2 | 7500, 1550 |
5 | 3750, 775 |
5 | 750, 155 |
150, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 5 = 50

Factors of 1550
List of positive integer factors of 1550 that divides 1550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,25,31,50,62,155,310,775,1550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7500,1550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7500,1550 is 50.
Lets's calculate LCM of 505,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 231795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 50/231795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7500/505,1550/459 is 50/231795
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 505,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(505,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(505,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(505,459) = ( 505 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(505,459) = 231795 / 1
LCM(505,459) = 231795
