Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 204/53,144/4259
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 204,144
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 204,144 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 53,4259 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 53,4259 is 225727 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 204,144
2 | 204, 144 |
2 | 102, 72 |
3 | 51, 36 |
17, 12 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72,144
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 204,144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 204,144 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 53,4259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 225727
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/225727
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/53,144/4259 is 12/225727
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 53,4259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,4259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,4259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,4259) = ( 53 × 4259 ) / 1
LCM(53,4259) = 225727 / 1
LCM(53,4259) = 225727
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
