Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 158/25,8152/720
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 158,8152
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 158,8152 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,720 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,720 is 3600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 158,8152
2 | 158, 8152 |
79, 4076 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 8152
List of positive integer factors of 8152 that divides 8152 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,1019,2038,4076,8152
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 158,8152 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 158,8152 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,720
5 | 25, 720 |
5, 144 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 144 = 3600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 158/25,8152/720 is 2/3600
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 25,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,720) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,720) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(25,720) = ( 25 × 720 ) / 5
LCM(25,720) = 18000 / 5
LCM(25,720) = 3600
