Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/106,990/283
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 40,990
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,990 is 10 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 106,283 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 106,283 is 29998 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,990
2 | 40, 990 |
5 | 20, 495 |
4, 99 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 5 = 10

Factors of 990
List of positive integer factors of 990 that divides 990 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,9,10,11,15,18,22,30,33,45,55,66,90,99,110,165,198,330,495,990
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,990 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,990 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 106,283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/29998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/106,990/283 is 10/29998
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 106,283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(106,283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(106,283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(106,283) = ( 106 × 283 ) / 1
LCM(106,283) = 29998 / 1
LCM(106,283) = 29998
