Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 327/915,179/996
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 327,179
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 327,179 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 915,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 915,996 is 303780 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 327,179
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 327 that divides 327 without a remainder.
1,3,109,327
Factors of 179
List of positive integer factors of 179 that divides 179 without a remainder.
1,179
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 327,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 327,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 915,996
3 | 915, 996 |
305, 332 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 305 x 332 = 303780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/303780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 327/915,179/996 is 1/303780
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 915,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(915,996) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(915,996) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(915,996) = ( 915 × 996 ) / 3
LCM(915,996) = 911340 / 3
LCM(915,996) = 303780
