Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 803/272,313/972
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 803,313
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 803,313 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 272,972 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 272,972 is 66096 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 803,313
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,11,73,803
Factors of 313
List of positive integer factors of 313 that divides 313 without a remainder.
1,313
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 803,313 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 803,313 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,972
2 | 272, 972 |
2 | 136, 486 |
68, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 68 x 243 = 66096
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/66096
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 803/272,313/972 is 1/66096
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 272,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(272,972) = ( 272 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(272,972) = 264384 / 4
LCM(272,972) = 66096
