Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 918/53,394/374
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 918,394
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 918,394 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,374 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,374 is 19822 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 918,394
2 | 918, 394 |
459, 197 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,9,17,18,27,34,51,54,102,153,306,459,918
Factors of 394
List of positive integer factors of 394 that divides 394 without a remainder.
1,2,197,394
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 918,394 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 918,394 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19822
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/19822
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/53,394/374 is 2/19822
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 53,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,374) = ( 53 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(53,374) = 19822 / 1
LCM(53,374) = 19822
