Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 798/55,135/118
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 798,135
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 798,135 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,118 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,118 is 6490 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 798,135
3 | 798, 135 |
266, 45 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,5,9,15,27,45,135
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 798,135 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 798,135 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,118
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 798/55,135/118 is 3/6490
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 55,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,118) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,118) = ( 55 × 118 ) / 1
LCM(55,118) = 6490 / 1
LCM(55,118) = 6490
