Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 738/11,333/2592
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 738,333
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 738,333 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,2592 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,2592 is 28512 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 738,333
3 | 738, 333 |
3 | 246, 111 |
82, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Factors of 333
List of positive integer factors of 333 that divides 333 without a remainder.
1,3,9,37,111,333
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,333 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,333 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,2592
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28512
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/28512
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/11,333/2592 is 9/28512
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 11,2592 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,2592) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,2592) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,2592) = ( 11 × 2592 ) / 1
LCM(11,2592) = 28512 / 1
LCM(11,2592) = 28512
