Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 853/302,354/740
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 853,354
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 853,354 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 302,740 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 302,740 is 111740 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 853,354
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,853
Factors of 354
List of positive integer factors of 354 that divides 354 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,59,118,177,354
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 853,354 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 853,354 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 302,740
2 | 302, 740 |
151, 370 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 151 x 370 = 111740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/111740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 853/302,354/740 is 1/111740
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 302,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(302,740) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(302,740) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(302,740) = ( 302 × 740 ) / 2
LCM(302,740) = 223480 / 2
LCM(302,740) = 111740
