Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 347/288,737/994
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 347,737
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 347,737 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 288,994 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 288,994 is 143136 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 347,737
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,347
Factors of 737
List of positive integer factors of 737 that divides 737 without a remainder.
1,11,67,737
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 347,737 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 347,737 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 288,994
2 | 288, 994 |
144, 497 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 144 x 497 = 143136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 347/288,737/994 is 1/143136
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 288,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(288,994) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(288,994) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(288,994) = ( 288 × 994 ) / 2
LCM(288,994) = 286272 / 2
LCM(288,994) = 143136
