Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 693/536,1171/996
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 693,1171
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 693,1171 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 536,996 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 536,996 is 133464 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 693,1171
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,7,9,11,21,33,63,77,99,231,693
Factors of 1171
List of positive integer factors of 1171 that divides 1171 without a remainder.
1,1171
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 693,1171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 693,1171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 536,996
2 | 536, 996 |
2 | 268, 498 |
134, 249 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 134 x 249 = 133464
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133464
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 693/536,1171/996 is 1/133464
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 536,996 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(536,996) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(536,996) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(536,996) = ( 536 × 996 ) / 4
LCM(536,996) = 533856 / 4
LCM(536,996) = 133464
