Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 173/48,294/4540
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 173,294
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 173,294 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 48,4540 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 48,4540 is 54480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 173,294
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,173
Factors of 294
List of positive integer factors of 294 that divides 294 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42,49,98,147,294
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,294 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,294 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,4540
2 | 48, 4540 |
2 | 24, 2270 |
12, 1135 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 12 x 1135 = 54480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/54480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/48,294/4540 is 1/54480
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 48,4540 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,4540) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,4540) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(48,4540) = ( 48 × 4540 ) / 4
LCM(48,4540) = 217920 / 4
LCM(48,4540) = 54480
