Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 323/514,1252/978
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 323,1252
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 323,1252 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 514,978 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 514,978 is 251346 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 323,1252
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1252
List of positive integer factors of 1252 that divides 1252 without a remainder.
1,2,4,313,626,1252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 323,1252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 323,1252 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 514,978
2 | 514, 978 |
257, 489 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 257 x 489 = 251346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/251346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 323/514,1252/978 is 1/251346
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 514,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,978) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,978) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(514,978) = ( 514 × 978 ) / 2
LCM(514,978) = 502692 / 2
LCM(514,978) = 251346
