Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 258/534,862/720
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 258,862
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 258,862 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 534,720 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 534,720 is 64080 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 258,862
2 | 258, 862 |
129, 431 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 862
List of positive integer factors of 862 that divides 862 without a remainder.
1,2,431,862
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 258,862 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 258,862 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 534,720
2 | 534, 720 |
3 | 267, 360 |
89, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 89 x 120 = 64080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/64080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 258/534,862/720 is 2/64080
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 534,720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(534,720) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(534,720) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(534,720) = ( 534 × 720 ) / 6
LCM(534,720) = 384480 / 6
LCM(534,720) = 64080
