Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 256/49,572/6035
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 256,572
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 256,572 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,6035 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,6035 is 295715 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 256,572
2 | 256, 572 |
2 | 128, 286 |
64, 143 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,11,13,22,26,44,52,143,286,572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 256,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 256,572 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,6035
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295715
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/295715
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 256/49,572/6035 is 4/295715
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 49,6035 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,6035) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,6035) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,6035) = ( 49 × 6035 ) / 1
LCM(49,6035) = 295715 / 1
LCM(49,6035) = 295715
