Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 77/637,742/725
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 77,742
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 77,742 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 637,725 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 637,725 is 461825 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 77,742
7 | 77, 742 |
11, 106 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Factors of 742
List of positive integer factors of 742 that divides 742 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,53,106,371,742
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 77,742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 77,742 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 637,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 461825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/461825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 77/637,742/725 is 7/461825
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 637,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(637,725) = ( 637 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(637,725) = 461825 / 1
LCM(637,725) = 461825
