Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 524/37,7186/317
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 524,7186
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 524,7186 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,317 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,317 is 11729 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 524,7186
2 | 524, 7186 |
262, 3593 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 7186
List of positive integer factors of 7186 that divides 7186 without a remainder.
1,2,3593,7186
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,7186 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,7186 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,317
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11729
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11729
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/37,7186/317 is 2/11729
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 37,317 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,317) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,317) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,317) = ( 37 × 317 ) / 1
LCM(37,317) = 11729 / 1
LCM(37,317) = 11729
