Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3988/859,1561/924
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 3988,1561
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3988,1561 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 859,924 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 859,924 is 793716 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3988,1561
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,997,1994,3988
Factors of 1561
List of positive integer factors of 1561 that divides 1561 without a remainder.
1,7,223,1561
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3988,1561 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3988,1561 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 859,924
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 793716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/793716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3988/859,1561/924 is 1/793716
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 859,924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,924) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,924) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,924) = ( 859 × 924 ) / 1
LCM(859,924) = 793716 / 1
LCM(859,924) = 793716
