Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 212/997,1252/895
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 212,1252
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 212,1252 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 997,895 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 997,895 is 892315 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 212,1252
2 | 212, 1252 |
2 | 106, 626 |
53, 313 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,53,106,212
Factors of 1252
List of positive integer factors of 1252 that divides 1252 without a remainder.
1,2,4,313,626,1252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 212,1252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 212,1252 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 997,895
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 892315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/892315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 212/997,1252/895 is 4/892315
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 997,895 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,895) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,895) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,895) = ( 997 × 895 ) / 1
LCM(997,895) = 892315 / 1
LCM(997,895) = 892315
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
