Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 370/92,515/746
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 370,515
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 370,515 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 92,746 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 92,746 is 34316 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 370,515
5 | 370, 515 |
74, 103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

1,2,5,10,37,74,185,370
Factors of 515
List of positive integer factors of 515 that divides 515 without a remainder.
1,5,103,515
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 370,515 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 370,515 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 92,746
2 | 92, 746 |
46, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 46 x 373 = 34316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/34316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 370/92,515/746 is 5/34316
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 92,746 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(92,746) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(92,746) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(92,746) = ( 92 × 746 ) / 2
LCM(92,746) = 68632 / 2
LCM(92,746) = 34316
