Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 27/880,572/998
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 27,572
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 27,572 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 880,998 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 880,998 is 439120 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,572
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 27

1,3,9,27
Factors of 572
List of positive integer factors of 572 that divides 572 without a remainder.
1,2,4,11,13,22,26,44,52,143,286,572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,572 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 880,998
2 | 880, 998 |
440, 499 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 440 x 499 = 439120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/439120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/880,572/998 is 1/439120
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 880,998 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(880,998) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(880,998) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(880,998) = ( 880 × 998 ) / 2
LCM(880,998) = 878240 / 2
LCM(880,998) = 439120
