Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 182/558,257/852
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 182,257
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 182,257 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 558,852 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 558,852 is 79236 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 182,257
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 182 that divides 182 without a remainder.
1,2,7,13,14,26,91,182
Factors of 257
List of positive integer factors of 257 that divides 257 without a remainder.
1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 182,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 182,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,852
2 | 558, 852 |
3 | 279, 426 |
93, 142 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 93 x 142 = 79236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 182/558,257/852 is 1/79236
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 558,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,852) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,852) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(558,852) = ( 558 × 852 ) / 6
LCM(558,852) = 475416 / 6
LCM(558,852) = 79236
