Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3730/77,3046/534
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 3730,3046
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3730,3046 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,534 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,534 is 41118 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3730,3046
2 | 3730, 3046 |
1865, 1523 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 3046
List of positive integer factors of 3046 that divides 3046 without a remainder.
1,2,1523,3046
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3730,3046 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3730,3046 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,534
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41118
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/41118
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3730/77,3046/534 is 2/41118
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 77,534 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,534) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,534) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,534) = ( 77 × 534 ) / 1
LCM(77,534) = 41118 / 1
LCM(77,534) = 41118
