Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 197/474,1289/166
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 197,1289
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 197,1289 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 474,166 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 474,166 is 39342 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 197,1289
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,197
Factors of 1289
List of positive integer factors of 1289 that divides 1289 without a remainder.
1,1289
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,1289 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,1289 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,166
2 | 474, 166 |
237, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 83 = 39342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/474,1289/166 is 1/39342
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 474,166 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,166) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,166) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(474,166) = ( 474 × 166 ) / 2
LCM(474,166) = 78684 / 2
LCM(474,166) = 39342
