Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 699/96,1738/542
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 699,1738
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 699,1738 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,542 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,542 is 26016 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 699,1738
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,233,699
Factors of 1738
List of positive integer factors of 1738 that divides 1738 without a remainder.
1,2,11,22,79,158,869,1738
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 699,1738 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 699,1738 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,542
2 | 96, 542 |
48, 271 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 48 x 271 = 26016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 699/96,1738/542 is 1/26016
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 96,542 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,542) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,542) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(96,542) = ( 96 × 542 ) / 2
LCM(96,542) = 52032 / 2
LCM(96,542) = 26016
