Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 198/37,747/3018
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 198,747
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 198,747 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,3018 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,3018 is 111666 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 198,747
3 | 198, 747 |
3 | 66, 249 |
22, 83 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Factors of 747
List of positive integer factors of 747 that divides 747 without a remainder.
1,3,9,83,249,747
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 198,747 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 198,747 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,3018
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 111666
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/111666
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 198/37,747/3018 is 9/111666
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 37,3018 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,3018) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,3018) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,3018) = ( 37 × 3018 ) / 1
LCM(37,3018) = 111666 / 1
LCM(37,3018) = 111666
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
