Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 148/73,568/5196
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 148,568
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 148,568 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,5196 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,5196 is 379308 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 148,568
2 | 148, 568 |
2 | 74, 284 |
37, 142 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,37,74,148
Factors of 568
List of positive integer factors of 568 that divides 568 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,71,142,284,568
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 148,568 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 148,568 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,5196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 379308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/379308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 148/73,568/5196 is 4/379308
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 73,5196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,5196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,5196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,5196) = ( 73 × 5196 ) / 1
LCM(73,5196) = 379308 / 1
LCM(73,5196) = 379308
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
