Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 196/34,146/4604
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 196,146
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 196,146 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 34,4604 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 34,4604 is 78268 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 196,146
2 | 196, 146 |
98, 73 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 146
List of positive integer factors of 146 that divides 146 without a remainder.
1,2,73,146
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 196,146 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 196,146 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 34,4604
2 | 34, 4604 |
17, 2302 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 17 x 2302 = 78268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/78268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 196/34,146/4604 is 2/78268
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 34,4604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(34,4604) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(34,4604) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(34,4604) = ( 34 × 4604 ) / 2
LCM(34,4604) = 156536 / 2
LCM(34,4604) = 78268
