Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 274/717,748/229
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 274,748
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 274,748 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 717,229 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 717,229 is 164193 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 274,748
2 | 274, 748 |
137, 374 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,11,17,22,34,44,68,187,374,748
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 274,748 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 274,748 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 717,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164193
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/164193
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 274/717,748/229 is 2/164193
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 717,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(717,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(717,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(717,229) = ( 717 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(717,229) = 164193 / 1
LCM(717,229) = 164193
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
