Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 318/136,152/279
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 318,152
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 318,152 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 136,279 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 136,279 is 37944 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 318,152
2 | 318, 152 |
159, 76 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 318 that divides 318 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,53,106,159,318
Factors of 152
List of positive integer factors of 152 that divides 152 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,19,38,76,152
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 318,152 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 318,152 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 136,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 37944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/37944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 318/136,152/279 is 2/37944
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 136,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(136,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(136,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(136,279) = ( 136 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(136,279) = 37944 / 1
LCM(136,279) = 37944
