Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 174/49,3374/590
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 174,3374
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 174,3374 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,590 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,590 is 28910 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 174,3374
2 | 174, 3374 |
87, 1687 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 3374
List of positive integer factors of 3374 that divides 3374 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,241,482,1687,3374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 174,3374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 174,3374 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,590
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28910
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28910
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 174/49,3374/590 is 2/28910
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 49,590 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,590) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,590) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,590) = ( 49 × 590 ) / 1
LCM(49,590) = 28910 / 1
LCM(49,590) = 28910
