Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 762/729,198/589
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 762,198
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 762,198 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 729,589 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 729,589 is 429381 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 762,198
2 | 762, 198 |
3 | 381, 99 |

1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 762,198 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 762,198 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 729,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 429381
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/429381
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 762/729,198/589 is 6/429381
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 729,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(729,589) = ( 729 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(729,589) = 429381 / 1
LCM(729,589) = 429381
