Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 240/634,517/998
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 240,517
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 240,517 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 634,998 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 634,998 is 316366 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 240,517
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,40,48,60,80,120,240
Factors of 517
List of positive integer factors of 517 that divides 517 without a remainder.
1,11,47,517
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,517 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,517 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 634,998
2 | 634, 998 |
317, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 317 x 499 = 316366
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/316366
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/634,517/998 is 1/316366
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 634,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(634,998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(634,998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(634,998) = ( 634 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(634,998) = 632732 / 2
LCM(634,998) = 316366
