Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 321/98,987/471
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 321,987
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 321,987 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,471 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,471 is 46158 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 321,987
3 | 321, 987 |
107, 329 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 987
List of positive integer factors of 987 that divides 987 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 321,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 321,987 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,471
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 46158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/46158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 321/98,987/471 is 3/46158
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 98,471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,471) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(98,471) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(98,471) = ( 98 × 471 ) / 1
LCM(98,471) = 46158 / 1
LCM(98,471) = 46158
