Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 297/332,407/994
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 297,407
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 297,407 is 11 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 332,994 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 332,994 is 165004 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 297,407
11 | 297, 407 |
27, 37 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 11 = 11

Factors of 407
List of positive integer factors of 407 that divides 407 without a remainder.
1,11,37,407
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 297,407 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 297,407 is 11.
Lets's calculate LCM of 332,994
2 | 332, 994 |
166, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 166 x 497 = 165004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/165004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 297/332,407/994 is 11/165004
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 332,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(332,994) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(332,994) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(332,994) = ( 332 × 994 ) / 2
LCM(332,994) = 330008 / 2
LCM(332,994) = 165004
