Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 348/13,252/9997
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 348,252
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 348,252 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,9997 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,9997 is 9997 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 348,252
2 | 348, 252 |
2 | 174, 126 |
3 | 87, 63 |
29, 21 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Factors of 348

1,2,3,4,6,12,29,58,87,116,174,348
Factors of 252
List of positive integer factors of 252 that divides 252 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,63,84,126,252
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 348,252 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 348,252 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,9997
13 | 13, 9997 |
1, 769 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 1 x 769 = 9997
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/9997
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/13,252/9997 is 12/9997
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 13,9997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,9997) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,9997) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(13,9997) = ( 13 × 9997 ) / 13
LCM(13,9997) = 129961 / 13
LCM(13,9997) = 9997
