Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 25/16,13/74,16/36,11/74
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 25/16,13/74,16/36,11/74, numerators are 25,13,16,11
Denominators are 16,74,36,74
The GCF of 25,13,16,11 is 1 .
LCM of 16,74,36,74 is 5328.
The greatest common factor of 25/16,13/74,16/36,11/74 = [GCF of 25,13,16,11]/[LCM of 16,74,36,74]= 1/5328
Therefore, the GCF of 25/16,13/74,16/36,11/74 is 1/5328.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 25,13,16,11 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 25,13,16,11 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,74,36,74
2 | 16, 74, 36, 74 |
2 | 8, 37, 18, 37 |
37 | 4, 37, 9, 37 |
4, 1, 9, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 4 x 1 x 9 x 1 = 5328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/16,13/74,16/36,11/74 is 1/5328
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 16,74,36,74 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,74,36,74) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 296
GCF(16,74,36,74) x common factors =2 x 296 = 592
LCM(16,74,36,74) = ( 16 × 74 × 36 × 74 ) / 592
LCM(16,74,36,74) = 3154176 / 592
LCM(16,74,36,74) = 5328
