Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 831/287,1972/500
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 831,1972
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 831,1972 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 287,500 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 287,500 is 143500 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 831,1972
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 831 that divides 831 without a remainder.
1,3,277,831
Factors of 1972
List of positive integer factors of 1972 that divides 1972 without a remainder.
1,2,4,17,29,34,58,68,116,493,986,1972
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 831,1972 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 831,1972 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 287,500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 831/287,1972/500 is 1/143500
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 287,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(287,500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(287,500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(287,500) = ( 287 × 500 ) / 1
LCM(287,500) = 143500 / 1
LCM(287,500) = 143500
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
