Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 738/521,451/722
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 738,451
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 738,451 is 41 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 521,722 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 521,722 is 376162 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 738,451
41 | 738, 451 |
18, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 41 = 41

1,2,3,6,9,18,41,82,123,246,369,738
Factors of 451
List of positive integer factors of 451 that divides 451 without a remainder.
1,11,41,451
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 738,451 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 738,451 is 41.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,722
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 376162
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 41/376162
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/521,451/722 is 41/376162
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 521,722 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,722) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,722) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,722) = ( 521 × 722 ) / 1
LCM(521,722) = 376162 / 1
LCM(521,722) = 376162
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
