Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 157/980,3602/256
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 157,3602
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 157,3602 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 980,256 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 980,256 is 62720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 157,3602
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,157
Factors of 3602
List of positive integer factors of 3602 that divides 3602 without a remainder.
1,2,1801,3602
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 157,3602 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 157,3602 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 980,256
2 | 980, 256 |
2 | 490, 128 |
245, 64 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 245 x 64 = 62720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/62720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 157/980,3602/256 is 1/62720
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 980,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(980,256) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(980,256) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(980,256) = ( 980 × 256 ) / 4
LCM(980,256) = 250880 / 4
LCM(980,256) = 62720
