Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 136/294,276/725
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 136,276
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 136,276 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 294,725 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 294,725 is 213150 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 136,276
2 | 136, 276 |
2 | 68, 138 |
34, 69 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,3,4,6,12,23,46,69,92,138,276
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 136,276 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 136,276 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 294,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 213150
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/213150
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 136/294,276/725 is 4/213150
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 294,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(294,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(294,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(294,725) = ( 294 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(294,725) = 213150 / 1
LCM(294,725) = 213150
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
