Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 164/283,5608/740
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 164,5608
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 164,5608 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 283,740 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 283,740 is 209420 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 164,5608
2 | 164, 5608 |
2 | 82, 2804 |
41, 1402 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4
Factors of 164

1,2,4,41,82,164
Factors of 5608
List of positive integer factors of 5608 that divides 5608 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,701,1402,2804,5608
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 164,5608 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 164,5608 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 283,740
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 209420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/209420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 164/283,5608/740 is 4/209420
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 283,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(283,740) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(283,740) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(283,740) = ( 283 × 740 ) / 1
LCM(283,740) = 209420 / 1
LCM(283,740) = 209420
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
