Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 290/47,240/131
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 290,240
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 290,240 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,131 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,131 is 6157 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 290,240
2 | 290, 240 |
5 | 145, 120 |
29, 24 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

Factors of 240
List of positive integer factors of 240 that divides 240 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,40,48,60,80,120,240
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 290,240 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 290,240 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6157
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/6157
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/47,240/131 is 10/6157
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 47,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,131) = ( 47 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(47,131) = 6157 / 1
LCM(47,131) = 6157
