Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 132/579,310/258
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 132,310
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 132,310 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 579,258 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 579,258 is 49794 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 132,310
2 | 132, 310 |
66, 155 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 310
List of positive integer factors of 310 that divides 310 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,31,62,155,310
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 132,310 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 132,310 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 579,258
3 | 579, 258 |
193, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 193 x 86 = 49794
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/49794
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/579,310/258 is 2/49794
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 579,258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(579,258) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(579,258) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(579,258) = ( 579 × 258 ) / 3
LCM(579,258) = 149382 / 3
LCM(579,258) = 49794
