Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 341/740,532/896
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 341,532
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 341,532 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 740,896 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 740,896 is 165760 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 341,532
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 532 that divides 532 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,14,19,28,38,76,133,266,532
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 341,532 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 341,532 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,896
2 | 740, 896 |
2 | 370, 448 |
185, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 185 x 224 = 165760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 341/740,532/896 is 1/165760
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 740,896 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,896) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,896) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(740,896) = ( 740 × 896 ) / 4
LCM(740,896) = 663040 / 4
LCM(740,896) = 165760
