Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 56/351,792/462
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 56,792
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 56,792 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 351,462 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 351,462 is 54054 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 56,792
2 | 56, 792 |
2 | 28, 396 |
2 | 14, 198 |
7, 99 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Factors of 792
List of positive integer factors of 792 that divides 792 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,11,12,18,22,24,33,36,44,66,72,88,99,132,198,264,396,792
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 56,792 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 56,792 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 351,462
3 | 351, 462 |
117, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 117 x 154 = 54054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/54054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 56/351,792/462 is 8/54054
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 351,462 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(351,462) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(351,462) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(351,462) = ( 351 × 462 ) / 3
LCM(351,462) = 162162 / 3
LCM(351,462) = 54054
