Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 740/94,390/3971
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 740,390
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 740,390 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 94,3971 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 94,3971 is 373274 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 740,390
2 | 740, 390 |
5 | 370, 195 |
74, 39 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

We found the factors 740,390 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 740,390 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,3971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 373274
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/373274
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 740/94,390/3971 is 10/373274
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 94,3971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,3971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,3971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(94,3971) = ( 94 × 3971 ) / 1
LCM(94,3971) = 373274 / 1
LCM(94,3971) = 373274
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
