Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 260/362,234/963
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 260,234
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 260,234 is 26 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 362,963 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 362,963 is 348606 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 260,234
2 | 260, 234 |
13 | 130, 117 |
10, 9 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 13 = 26

1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Factors of 234
List of positive integer factors of 234 that divides 234 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,13,18,26,39,78,117,234
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 260,234 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 260,234 is 26.
Lets's calculate LCM of 362,963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 348606
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/348606
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 260/362,234/963 is 26/348606
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 362,963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,963) = ( 362 × 963 ) / 1
LCM(362,963) = 348606 / 1
LCM(362,963) = 348606
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
