Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 252/74,726/9279
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 252,726
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 252,726 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,9279 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,9279 is 686646 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 252,726
2 | 252, 726 |
3 | 126, 363 |
42, 121 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

So the greatest common factor 252,726 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,9279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 686646
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/686646
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/74,726/9279 is 6/686646
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 74,9279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,9279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,9279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,9279) = ( 74 × 9279 ) / 1
LCM(74,9279) = 686646 / 1
LCM(74,9279) = 686646
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
