Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 238/146,129/374
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 238,129
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 238,129 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 146,374 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 146,374 is 27302 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 238,129
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 238 that divides 238 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,17,34,119,238
Factors of 129
List of positive integer factors of 129 that divides 129 without a remainder.
1,3,43,129
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 238,129 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 238,129 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 146,374
2 | 146, 374 |
73, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 73 x 187 = 27302
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27302
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 238/146,129/374 is 1/27302
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 146,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(146,374) = ( 146 × 374 ) / 2
LCM(146,374) = 54604 / 2
LCM(146,374) = 27302
