Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 722/74,988/2159
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 722,988
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 722,988 is 38 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,2159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,2159 is 159766 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 722,988
2 | 722, 988 |
19 | 361, 494 |
19, 26 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38

1,2,4,13,19,26,38,52,76,247,494,988
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 722,988 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 722,988 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,2159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/159766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 722/74,988/2159 is 38/159766
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 74,2159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,2159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,2159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(74,2159) = ( 74 × 2159 ) / 1
LCM(74,2159) = 159766 / 1
LCM(74,2159) = 159766
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
