Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 357/894,256/149
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 357,256
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 357,256 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 894,149 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 894,149 is 894 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 357,256
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 256 that divides 256 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 357,256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 357,256 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 894,149
149 | 894, 149 |
6, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 149 x 6 x 1 = 894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 357/894,256/149 is 1/894
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 894,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(894,149) = 149
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(894,149) x common factors =149 x 1 = 149
LCM(894,149) = ( 894 × 149 ) / 149
LCM(894,149) = 133206 / 149
LCM(894,149) = 894
