Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 747/603,981/649
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 747,981
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 747,981 is 9 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 603,649 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 603,649 is 391347 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 747,981
3 | 747, 981 |
3 | 249, 327 |
83, 109 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 x 3 = 9

Factors of 981
List of positive integer factors of 981 that divides 981 without a remainder.
1,3,9,109,327,981
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 747,981 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 747,981 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 603,649
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 391347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/391347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 747/603,981/649 is 9/391347
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 603,649 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(603,649) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(603,649) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(603,649) = ( 603 × 649 ) / 1
LCM(603,649) = 391347 / 1
LCM(603,649) = 391347
