Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 174/76,458/2342
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 174,458
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 174,458 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 76,2342 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 76,2342 is 88996 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 174,458
2 | 174, 458 |
87, 229 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 458
List of positive integer factors of 458 that divides 458 without a remainder.
1,2,229,458
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 174,458 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 174,458 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,2342
2 | 76, 2342 |
38, 1171 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 38 x 1171 = 88996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/88996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 174/76,458/2342 is 2/88996
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 76,2342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,2342) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,2342) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(76,2342) = ( 76 × 2342 ) / 2
LCM(76,2342) = 177992 / 2
LCM(76,2342) = 88996
