Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 740/832,1549/145
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 740,1549
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 740,1549 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 832,145 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 832,145 is 120640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 740,1549
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 740 that divides 740 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,37,74,148,185,370,740
Factors of 1549
List of positive integer factors of 1549 that divides 1549 without a remainder.
1,1549
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 740,1549 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,1549 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 832,145
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/832,1549/145 is 1/120640
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 832,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(832,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(832,145) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(832,145) = ( 832 × 145 ) / 1
LCM(832,145) = 120640 / 1
LCM(832,145) = 120640
