Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 326/45,598/726
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 326,598
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 326,598 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 45,726 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 45,726 is 10890 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 326,598
2 | 326, 598 |
163, 299 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,13,23,26,46,299,598
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 326,598 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 326,598 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 45,726
3 | 45, 726 |
15, 242 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 15 x 242 = 10890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 326/45,598/726 is 2/10890
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 45,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(45,726) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(45,726) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(45,726) = ( 45 × 726 ) / 3
LCM(45,726) = 32670 / 3
LCM(45,726) = 10890
