Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 123/685,264/196
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 123,264
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 123,264 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 685,196 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 685,196 is 134260 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 123,264
3 | 123, 264 |
41, 88 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 123 that divides 123 without a remainder.
1,3,41,123
Factors of 264
List of positive integer factors of 264 that divides 264 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,11,12,22,24,33,44,66,88,132,264
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 123,264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 123,264 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 685,196
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 134260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/134260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 123/685,264/196 is 3/134260
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 685,196 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(685,196) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(685,196) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(685,196) = ( 685 × 196 ) / 1
LCM(685,196) = 134260 / 1
LCM(685,196) = 134260
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
