Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 165/897,385/986
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 165,385
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 165,385 is 55 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 897,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 897,986 is 884442 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 165,385
5 | 165, 385 |
11 | 33, 77 |
3, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 11 = 55

Factors of 385
List of positive integer factors of 385 that divides 385 without a remainder.
1,5,7,11,35,55,77,385
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 165,385 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 165,385 is 55.
Lets's calculate LCM of 897,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 884442
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 55/884442
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 165/897,385/986 is 55/884442
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 897,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(897,986) = ( 897 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(897,986) = 884442 / 1
LCM(897,986) = 884442
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
