Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 197/259,1272/356
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 197,1272
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 197,1272 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 259,356 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 259,356 is 92204 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 197,1272
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1272
List of positive integer factors of 1272 that divides 1272 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,53,106,159,212,318,424,636,1272
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,1272 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,1272 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,356
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/92204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/259,1272/356 is 1/92204
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 259,356 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,356) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,356) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,356) = ( 259 × 356 ) / 1
LCM(259,356) = 92204 / 1
LCM(259,356) = 92204
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
