Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 744/35,500/856
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 744,500
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 744,500 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 35,856 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 35,856 is 29960 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 744,500
2 | 744, 500 |
2 | 372, 250 |
186, 125 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,31,62,93,124,186,248,372,744
Factors of 500
List of positive integer factors of 500 that divides 500 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20,25,50,100,125,250,500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 744,500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 744,500 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 35,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29960
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/29960
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/35,500/856 is 4/29960
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 35,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(35,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(35,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(35,856) = ( 35 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(35,856) = 29960 / 1
LCM(35,856) = 29960
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
