Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 499/912,729/495
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 499,729
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 499,729 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 912,495 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 912,495 is 150480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 499,729
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,27,81,243,729
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 499,729 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 499,729 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 912,495
3 | 912, 495 |
304, 165 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 304 x 165 = 150480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/150480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/912,729/495 is 1/150480
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 912,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(912,495) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(912,495) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(912,495) = ( 912 × 495 ) / 3
LCM(912,495) = 451440 / 3
LCM(912,495) = 150480
