Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 517/99,2987/308
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 517,2987
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 517,2987 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,308 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,308 is 2772 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 517,2987
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 517

1,11,47,517
Factors of 2987
List of positive integer factors of 2987 that divides 2987 without a remainder.
1,29,103,2987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 517,2987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 517,2987 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,308
11 | 99, 308 |
9, 28 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 9 x 28 = 2772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 517/99,2987/308 is 1/2772
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 99,308 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,308) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,308) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(99,308) = ( 99 × 308 ) / 11
LCM(99,308) = 30492 / 11
LCM(99,308) = 2772
