Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 426/58,256/1041
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 426,256
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 426,256 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,1041 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,1041 is 60378 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 426,256
2 | 426, 256 |
213, 128 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,6,71,142,213,426
Factors of 256
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 426,256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 426,256 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,1041
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 60378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/60378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 426/58,256/1041 is 2/60378
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 58,1041 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,1041) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,1041) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(58,1041) = ( 58 × 1041 ) / 1
LCM(58,1041) = 60378 / 1
LCM(58,1041) = 60378
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
