Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 96/268,176/359
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 96,176
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 96,176 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 268,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 268,359 is 96212 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,176
2 | 96, 176 |
2 | 48, 88 |
2 | 24, 44 |
2 | 12, 22 |
6, 11 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 176
List of positive integer factors of 176 that divides 176 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,11,16,22,44,88,176
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,176 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,176 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 268,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 96212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/96212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/268,176/359 is 16/96212
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 268,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(268,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(268,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(268,359) = ( 268 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(268,359) = 96212 / 1
LCM(268,359) = 96212
