Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 7/537, 3/482 i.e 1/258834 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 7/537, 3/482.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7/537,3/482
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 7/537,3/482, numerators are 7,3
Denominators are 537,482
The GCF of 7,3 is 1 .
LCM of 537,482 is 258834.
The greatest common factor of 7/537,3/482 = [GCF of 7,3]/[LCM of 537,482]= 1/258834
Therefore, the GCF of 7/537,3/482 is 1/258834.
To find the highest common factor of 7,3, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 7 are 1, 7
The factors of 3 are 1, 3
The HCF of 7,3 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7,3
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,482
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258834
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/258834
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/537,3/482 is 1/258834
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 537,482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,482) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,482) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,482) = ( 537 × 482 ) / 1
LCM(537,482) = 258834 / 1
LCM(537,482) = 258834
