Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 372/200,130/376
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 372,130
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 372,130 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 200,376 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 200,376 is 9400 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 372,130
2 | 372, 130 |
186, 65 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 372 that divides 372 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,31,62,93,124,186,372
Factors of 130
List of positive integer factors of 130 that divides 130 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,13,26,65,130
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 372,130 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 372,130 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 200,376
2 | 200, 376 |
2 | 100, 188 |
2 | 50, 94 |
25, 47 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 25 x 47 = 9400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 372/200,130/376 is 2/9400
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 200,376 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(200,376) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(200,376) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(200,376) = ( 200 × 376 ) / 8
LCM(200,376) = 75200 / 8
LCM(200,376) = 9400
