Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 736/532,734/949
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 736,734
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 736,734 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 532,949 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 532,949 is 504868 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 736,734
2 | 736, 734 |
368, 367 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,16,23,32,46,92,184,368,736
Factors of 734
List of positive integer factors of 734 that divides 734 without a remainder.
1,2,367,734
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 736,734 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 736,734 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 532,949
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 504868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/504868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 736/532,734/949 is 2/504868
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 532,949 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,949) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,949) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(532,949) = ( 532 × 949 ) / 1
LCM(532,949) = 504868 / 1
LCM(532,949) = 504868
