Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 257/56,208/1306
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 257,208
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 257,208 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,1306 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,1306 is 36568 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 257,208
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,257
Factors of 208
List of positive integer factors of 208 that divides 208 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,13,16,26,52,104,208
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 257,208 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 257,208 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,1306
2 | 56, 1306 |
28, 653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 28 x 653 = 36568
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36568
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 257/56,208/1306 is 1/36568
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 56,1306 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,1306) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,1306) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(56,1306) = ( 56 × 1306 ) / 2
LCM(56,1306) = 73136 / 2
LCM(56,1306) = 36568
