Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 136/41,322/359
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 136,322
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 136,322 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,359 is 14719 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 136,322
2 | 136, 322 |
68, 161 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 136 that divides 136 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,17,34,68,136
Factors of 322
List of positive integer factors of 322 that divides 322 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,23,46,161,322
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 136,322 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 136,322 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 14719
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/14719
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 136/41,322/359 is 2/14719
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 41,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,359) = ( 41 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(41,359) = 14719 / 1
LCM(41,359) = 14719
