Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 551/72,374/4014
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 551,374
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 551,374 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,4014 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,4014 is 16056 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 551,374
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,11,17,22,34,187,374
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 551,374 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 551,374 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,4014
2 | 72, 4014 |
3 | 36, 2007 |
3 | 12, 669 |
4, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 223 = 16056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/72,374/4014 is 1/16056
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 72,4014 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,4014) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,4014) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(72,4014) = ( 72 × 4014 ) / 18
LCM(72,4014) = 289008 / 18
LCM(72,4014) = 16056
