Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 240/252,496/850
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 240,496
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 240,496 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 252,850 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 252,850 is 107100 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 240,496
2 | 240, 496 |
2 | 120, 248 |
2 | 60, 124 |
2 | 30, 62 |
15, 31 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,4,8,16,31,62,124,248,496
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,496 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,496 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 252,850
2 | 252, 850 |
126, 425 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 126 x 425 = 107100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/107100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/252,496/850 is 16/107100
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 252,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(252,850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(252,850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(252,850) = ( 252 × 850 ) / 2
LCM(252,850) = 214200 / 2
LCM(252,850) = 107100
