Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 897/991,943/561
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 897,943
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 897,943 is 23 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 991,561 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 991,561 is 555951 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 897,943
23 | 897, 943 |
39, 41 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 23 = 23

Factors of 943
List of positive integer factors of 943 that divides 943 without a remainder.
1,23,41,943
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 897,943 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 897,943 is 23.
Lets's calculate LCM of 991,561
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 555951
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/555951
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/991,943/561 is 23/555951
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 991,561 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,561) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,561) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,561) = ( 991 × 561 ) / 1
LCM(991,561) = 555951 / 1
LCM(991,561) = 555951
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
