Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 731/618,940/504
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 731,940
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 731,940 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 618,504 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 618,504 is 51912 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 731,940
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 940 that divides 940 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,47,94,188,235,470,940
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 731,940 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 731,940 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 618,504
2 | 618, 504 |
3 | 309, 252 |
103, 84 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 103 x 84 = 51912
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51912
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 731/618,940/504 is 1/51912
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 618,504 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(618,504) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(618,504) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(618,504) = ( 618 × 504 ) / 6
LCM(618,504) = 311472 / 6
LCM(618,504) = 51912
