Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 382/15,988/247
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 382,988
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 382,988 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,247 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,247 is 3705 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 382,988
2 | 382, 988 |
191, 494 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Factors of 988
List of positive integer factors of 988 that divides 988 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,19,26,38,52,76,247,494,988
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 382,988 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 382,988 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,247
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3705
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3705
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 382/15,988/247 is 2/3705
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 15,247 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,247) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,247) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,247) = ( 15 × 247 ) / 1
LCM(15,247) = 3705 / 1
LCM(15,247) = 3705
