Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 490/316,1741/468
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 490,1741
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 490,1741 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 316,468 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 316,468 is 36972 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 490,1741
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,5,7,10,14,35,49,70,98,245,490
Factors of 1741
List of positive integer factors of 1741 that divides 1741 without a remainder.
1,1741
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,1741 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,1741 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 316,468
2 | 316, 468 |
2 | 158, 234 |
79, 117 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 79 x 117 = 36972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/316,1741/468 is 1/36972
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 316,468 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,468) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(316,468) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(316,468) = ( 316 × 468 ) / 4
LCM(316,468) = 147888 / 4
LCM(316,468) = 36972
