Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 772/756,438/143
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 772,438
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 772,438 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 756,143 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 756,143 is 108108 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 772,438
2 | 772, 438 |
386, 219 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,193,386,772
Factors of 438
List of positive integer factors of 438 that divides 438 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,73,146,219,438
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 772,438 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 772,438 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 756,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108108
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/108108
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 772/756,438/143 is 2/108108
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 756,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(756,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(756,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(756,143) = ( 756 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(756,143) = 108108 / 1
LCM(756,143) = 108108
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
