Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 523/991,4959/966
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 523,4959
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 523,4959 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 991,966 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 991,966 is 957306 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 523,4959
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,19,29,57,87,171,261,551,1653,4959
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 523,4959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 523,4959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,966
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 957306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/957306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 523/991,4959/966 is 1/957306
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 991,966 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,966) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,966) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,966) = ( 991 × 966 ) / 1
LCM(991,966) = 957306 / 1
LCM(991,966) = 957306
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
