Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2558/39,2012/855
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 2558,2012
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2558,2012 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 39,855 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 39,855 is 11115 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2558,2012
2 | 2558, 2012 |
1279, 1006 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 2012
List of positive integer factors of 2012 that divides 2012 without a remainder.
1,2,4,503,1006,2012
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2558,2012 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2558,2012 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 39,855
3 | 39, 855 |
13, 285 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 13 x 285 = 11115
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/11115
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2558/39,2012/855 is 2/11115
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 39,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(39,855) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(39,855) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(39,855) = ( 39 × 855 ) / 3
LCM(39,855) = 33345 / 3
LCM(39,855) = 11115
