Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 507/81,258/940
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 507,258
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 507,258 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,940 is 76140 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 507,258
3 | 507, 258 |
169, 86 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 507 that divides 507 without a remainder.
1,3,13,39,169,507
Factors of 258
List of positive integer factors of 258 that divides 258 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,43,86,129,258
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 507,258 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 507,258 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/76140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 507/81,258/940 is 3/76140
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 81,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(81,940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(81,940) = ( 81 × 940 ) / 1
LCM(81,940) = 76140 / 1
LCM(81,940) = 76140
