Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 508/738,701/856
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 508,701
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 508,701 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 738,856 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 738,856 is 315864 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 508,701
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,127,254,508
Factors of 701
List of positive integer factors of 701 that divides 701 without a remainder.
1,701
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 508,701 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 508,701 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 738,856
2 | 738, 856 |
369, 428 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 369 x 428 = 315864
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/315864
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 508/738,701/856 is 1/315864
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 738,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(738,856) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(738,856) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(738,856) = ( 738 × 856 ) / 2
LCM(738,856) = 631728 / 2
LCM(738,856) = 315864
