Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 581/937,987/508
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 581,987
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 581,987 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 937,508 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 937,508 is 475996 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 581,987
7 | 581, 987 |
83, 141 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

1,7,83,581
Factors of 987
List of positive integer factors of 987 that divides 987 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,47,141,329,987
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 581,987 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 581,987 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 937,508
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 475996
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/475996
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 581/937,987/508 is 7/475996
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 937,508 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(937,508) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(937,508) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(937,508) = ( 937 × 508 ) / 1
LCM(937,508) = 475996 / 1
LCM(937,508) = 475996
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
