Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 96/465,156/259
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 96,156
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 96,156 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 465,259 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 465,259 is 120435 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 96,156
2 | 96, 156 |
2 | 48, 78 |
3 | 24, 39 |
8, 13 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Factors of 96

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 156
List of positive integer factors of 156 that divides 156 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 96,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 96,156 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 465,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120435
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/120435
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 96/465,156/259 is 12/120435
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 465,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(465,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(465,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(465,259) = ( 465 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(465,259) = 120435 / 1
LCM(465,259) = 120435
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
