Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 85/992,558/334
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 85,558
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 85,558 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 992,334 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 992,334 is 165664 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 85,558
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,9,18,31,62,93,186,279,558
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,558 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,558 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 992,334
2 | 992, 334 |
496, 167 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 496 x 167 = 165664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/165664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/992,558/334 is 1/165664
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 992,334 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,334) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,334) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(992,334) = ( 992 × 334 ) / 2
LCM(992,334) = 331328 / 2
LCM(992,334) = 165664
