Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 382/74,430/162
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 382,430
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 382,430 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,162 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,162 is 5994 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 382,430
2 | 382, 430 |
191, 215 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 430
List of positive integer factors of 430 that divides 430 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,43,86,215,430
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,430 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,430 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,162
2 | 74, 162 |
37, 81 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 81 = 5994
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5994
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/74,430/162 is 2/5994
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 74,162 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,162) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,162) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,162) = ( 74 × 162 ) / 2
LCM(74,162) = 11988 / 2
LCM(74,162) = 5994
