Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 524/53,740/2604
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 524,740
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 524,740 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,2604 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,2604 is 138012 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 524,740
2 | 524, 740 |
2 | 262, 370 |
131, 185 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,131,262,524
Factors of 740
List of positive integer factors of 740 that divides 740 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 524,740 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 524,740 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,2604
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138012
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/138012
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 524/53,740/2604 is 4/138012
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 53,2604 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,2604) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,2604) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,2604) = ( 53 × 2604 ) / 1
LCM(53,2604) = 138012 / 1
LCM(53,2604) = 138012
