Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 310/496,1260/401
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 310,1260
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 310,1260 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 496,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 496,401 is 198896 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 310,1260
2 | 310, 1260 |
5 | 155, 630 |
31, 126 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 310,1260 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 310,1260 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/198896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 310/496,1260/401 is 10/198896
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 496,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,401) = ( 496 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(496,401) = 198896 / 1
LCM(496,401) = 198896
