Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 744/240,301/388
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 744,301
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 744,301 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 240,388 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 240,388 is 23280 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 744,301
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 301
List of positive integer factors of 301 that divides 301 without a remainder.
1,7,43,301
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 744,301 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 744,301 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,388
2 | 240, 388 |
2 | 120, 194 |
60, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 60 x 97 = 23280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/23280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/240,301/388 is 1/23280
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 240,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,388) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,388) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(240,388) = ( 240 × 388 ) / 4
LCM(240,388) = 93120 / 4
LCM(240,388) = 23280
