Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 748/395,164/408
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 748,164
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 748,164 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 395,408 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 395,408 is 161160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 748,164
2 | 748, 164 |
2 | 374, 82 |
187, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,11,17,22,34,44,68,187,374,748
Factors of 164
List of positive integer factors of 164 that divides 164 without a remainder.
1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 748,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 748,164 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 395,408
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/161160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/395,164/408 is 4/161160
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 395,408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(395,408) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(395,408) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(395,408) = ( 395 × 408 ) / 1
LCM(395,408) = 161160 / 1
LCM(395,408) = 161160
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
