Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 2/58, 1/44, 2/36, 40/924 i.e 1/80388 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 2/58, 1/44, 2/36, 40/924.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2/58,1/44,2/36,40/924
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 2/58,1/44,2/36,40/924, numerators are 2,1,2,40
Denominators are 58,44,36,924
The GCF of 2,1,2,40 is 1 .
LCM of 58,44,36,924 is 80388.
The greatest common factor of 2/58,1/44,2/36,40/924 = [GCF of 2,1,2,40]/[LCM of 58,44,36,924]= 1/80388
Therefore, the GCF of 2/58,1/44,2/36,40/924 is 1/80388.
To find the highest common factor of 2,1,2,40, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 2 are 1, 2
The factors of 1 are 1
The factors of 2 are 1, 2
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40

Lets's calculate GCF of 2,1,2,40
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2
:1,2
Now, list down the factors of 1
:1
Now, list down the factors of 2
:1,2
Now, list down the factors of 40
:1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2,1,2,40 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2,1,2,40 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,44,36,924
2 | 58, 44, 36, 924 |
2 | 29, 22, 18, 462 |
3 | 29, 11, 9, 231 |
11 | 29, 11, 3, 77 |
29, 1, 3, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 29 x 1 x 3 x 7 = 80388
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/80388
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2/58,1/44,2/36,40/924 is 1/80388
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 58,44,36,924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,44,36,924) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 528
GCF(58,44,36,924) x common factors =2 x 528 = 1056
LCM(58,44,36,924) = ( 58 × 44 × 36 × 924 ) / 1056
LCM(58,44,36,924) = 84889728 / 1056
LCM(58,44,36,924) = 80388
