Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 128/56,372/5101
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 128,372
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 128,372 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,5101 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,5101 is 285656 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 128,372
2 | 128, 372 |
2 | 64, 186 |
32, 93 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

Factors of 372
List of positive integer factors of 372 that divides 372 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,31,62,93,124,186,372
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 128,372 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 128,372 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,5101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 285656
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/285656
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 128/56,372/5101 is 4/285656
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 56,5101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,5101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,5101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(56,5101) = ( 56 × 5101 ) / 1
LCM(56,5101) = 285656 / 1
LCM(56,5101) = 285656
