Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 740/87,222/8868
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 740,222
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 740,222 is 74 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 87,8868 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 87,8868 is 257172 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 740,222
2 | 740, 222 |
37 | 370, 111 |
10, 3 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 37 = 74

1,2,3,6,37,74,111,222
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 740,222 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,222 is 74.
Lets's calculate LCM of 87,8868
3 | 87, 8868 |
29, 2956 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 29 x 2956 = 257172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 74/257172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/87,222/8868 is 74/257172
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 87,8868 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(87,8868) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(87,8868) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(87,8868) = ( 87 × 8868 ) / 3
LCM(87,8868) = 771516 / 3
LCM(87,8868) = 257172
