Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 358/240,260/357
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 358,260
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 358,260 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 240,357 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 240,357 is 28560 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 358,260
2 | 358, 260 |
179, 130 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,5,10,13,20,26,52,65,130,260
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 358,260 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 358,260 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,357
3 | 240, 357 |
80, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 80 x 119 = 28560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/28560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 358/240,260/357 is 2/28560
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 240,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,357) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,357) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(240,357) = ( 240 × 357 ) / 3
LCM(240,357) = 85680 / 3
LCM(240,357) = 28560
