Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 100/73,348/494
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 100,348
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 100,348 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,494 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,494 is 36062 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 100,348
2 | 100, 348 |
2 | 50, 174 |
25, 87 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 348
List of positive integer factors of 348 that divides 348 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,29,58,87,116,174,348
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 100,348 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 100,348 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,494
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/36062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 100/73,348/494 is 4/36062
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 73,494 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,494) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,494) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,494) = ( 73 × 494 ) / 1
LCM(73,494) = 36062 / 1
LCM(73,494) = 36062
