Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 197/879,977/906
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 197,977
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 197,977 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 879,906 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 879,906 is 265458 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 197,977
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,197
Factors of 977
List of positive integer factors of 977 that divides 977 without a remainder.
1,977
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,977 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,977 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 879,906
3 | 879, 906 |
293, 302 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 293 x 302 = 265458
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/265458
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/879,977/906 is 1/265458
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 879,906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,906) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,906) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(879,906) = ( 879 × 906 ) / 3
LCM(879,906) = 796374 / 3
LCM(879,906) = 265458
