Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 265/732,421/996
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 265,421
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 265,421 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 732,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 732,996 is 60756 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 265,421
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,5,53,265
Factors of 421
List of positive integer factors of 421 that divides 421 without a remainder.
1,421
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 265,421 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 265,421 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 732,996
2 | 732, 996 |
2 | 366, 498 |
3 | 183, 249 |
61, 83 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 61 x 83 = 60756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/60756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 265/732,421/996 is 1/60756
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 732,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(732,996) = 12
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(732,996) x common factors =12 x 1 = 12
LCM(732,996) = ( 732 × 996 ) / 12
LCM(732,996) = 729072 / 12
LCM(732,996) = 60756
