Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 372/947,274/669
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 372,274
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 372,274 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 947,669 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 947,669 is 633543 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 372,274
2 | 372, 274 |
186, 137 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,4,6,12,31,62,93,124,186,372
Factors of 274
List of positive integer factors of 274 that divides 274 without a remainder.
1,2,137,274
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 372,274 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 372,274 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 947,669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 633543
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/633543
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 372/947,274/669 is 2/633543
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 947,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,669) = ( 947 × 669 ) / 1
LCM(947,669) = 633543 / 1
LCM(947,669) = 633543
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
