Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 137/26,7646/372
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 137,7646
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 137,7646 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,372 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,372 is 4836 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 137,7646
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,137
Factors of 7646
List of positive integer factors of 7646 that divides 7646 without a remainder.
1,2,3823,7646
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,7646 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,7646 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,372
2 | 26, 372 |
13, 186 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 186 = 4836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/26,7646/372 is 1/4836
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 26,372 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,372) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,372) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(26,372) = ( 26 × 372 ) / 2
LCM(26,372) = 9672 / 2
LCM(26,372) = 4836
