Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 536/26,856/577
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 536,856
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 536,856 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,577 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,577 is 15002 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 536,856
2 | 536, 856 |
2 | 268, 428 |
2 | 134, 214 |
67, 107 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Factors of 856
List of positive integer factors of 856 that divides 856 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,107,214,428,856
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 536,856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 536,856 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15002
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/15002
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 536/26,856/577 is 8/15002
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 26,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,577) = ( 26 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(26,577) = 15002 / 1
LCM(26,577) = 15002
