Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 976/71,7538/736
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 976,7538
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 976,7538 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,736 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,736 is 52256 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 976,7538
2 | 976, 7538 |
488, 3769 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 7538
List of positive integer factors of 7538 that divides 7538 without a remainder.
1,2,3769,7538
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 976,7538 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 976,7538 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/71,7538/736 is 2/52256
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 71,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,736) = ( 71 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(71,736) = 52256 / 1
LCM(71,736) = 52256
