Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 746/131,492/609
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 746,492
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 746,492 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 131,609 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 131,609 is 79779 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 746,492
2 | 746, 492 |
373, 246 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 746

1,2,373,746
Factors of 492
List of positive integer factors of 492 that divides 492 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,41,82,123,164,246,492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 746,492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 746,492 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79779
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/79779
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 746/131,492/609 is 2/79779
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 131,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,609) = ( 131 × 609 ) / 1
LCM(131,609) = 79779 / 1
LCM(131,609) = 79779
