Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 957/52,256/403
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 957,256
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 957,256 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 52,403 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 52,403 is 1612 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 957,256
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

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 957,256 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 957,256 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 52,403
13 | 52, 403 |
4, 31 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 4 x 31 = 1612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/52,256/403 is 1/1612
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 52,403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(52,403) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(52,403) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(52,403) = ( 52 × 403 ) / 13
LCM(52,403) = 20956 / 13
LCM(52,403) = 1612
