Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 164/24,668/394
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 164,668
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 164,668 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,394 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,394 is 4728 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 164,668
2 | 164, 668 |
2 | 82, 334 |
41, 167 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 164

1,2,4,41,82,164
Factors of 668
List of positive integer factors of 668 that divides 668 without a remainder.
1,2,4,167,334,668
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 164,668 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,668 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,394
2 | 24, 394 |
12, 197 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 12 x 197 = 4728
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/4728
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/24,668/394 is 4/4728
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 24,394 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,394) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(24,394) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(24,394) = ( 24 × 394 ) / 2
LCM(24,394) = 9456 / 2
LCM(24,394) = 4728
