Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5582/19,8707/988
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 5582,8707
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5582,8707 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,988 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,988 is 988 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5582,8707
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 8707
List of positive integer factors of 8707 that divides 8707 without a remainder.
1,8707
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5582,8707 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5582,8707 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,988
19 | 19, 988 |
1, 52 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 19 x 1 x 52 = 988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5582/19,8707/988 is 1/988
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 19,988 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,988) = 19
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,988) x common factors =19 x 1 = 19
LCM(19,988) = ( 19 × 988 ) / 19
LCM(19,988) = 18772 / 19
LCM(19,988) = 988
