Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 508/176,771/742
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 508,771
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 508,771 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 176,742 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 176,742 is 65296 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 508,771
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,127,254,508
Factors of 771
List of positive integer factors of 771 that divides 771 without a remainder.
1,3,257,771
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 508,771 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 508,771 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 176,742
2 | 176, 742 |
88, 371 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 88 x 371 = 65296
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/65296
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 508/176,771/742 is 1/65296
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 176,742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(176,742) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(176,742) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(176,742) = ( 176 × 742 ) / 2
LCM(176,742) = 130592 / 2
LCM(176,742) = 65296
