Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 332/63,724/7739
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 332,724
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 332,724 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 63,7739 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 63,7739 is 487557 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 332,724
2 | 332, 724 |
2 | 166, 362 |
83, 181 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

List of positive integer factors of 332 that divides 332 without a remainder.
1,2,4,83,166,332
Factors of 724
List of positive integer factors of 724 that divides 724 without a remainder.
1,2,4,181,362,724
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 332,724 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 332,724 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,7739
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 487557
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/487557
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 332/63,724/7739 is 4/487557
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 63,7739 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,7739) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,7739) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,7739) = ( 63 × 7739 ) / 1
LCM(63,7739) = 487557 / 1
LCM(63,7739) = 487557
