Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 513/88,387/983
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 513,387
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 513,387 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 88,983 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 88,983 is 86504 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 513,387
3 | 513, 387 |
3 | 171, 129 |
57, 43 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Factors of 387
List of positive integer factors of 387 that divides 387 without a remainder.
1,3,9,43,129,387
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 513,387 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 513,387 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,983
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/86504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 513/88,387/983 is 9/86504
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 88,983 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,983) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(88,983) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(88,983) = ( 88 × 983 ) / 1
LCM(88,983) = 86504 / 1
LCM(88,983) = 86504
