Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 986/72,481/5224
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 986,481
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 986,481 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 72,5224 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 72,5224 is 47016 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 986,481
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 481 that divides 481 without a remainder.
1,13,37,481
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 986,481 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 986,481 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 72,5224
2 | 72, 5224 |
2 | 36, 2612 |
2 | 18, 1306 |
9, 653 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 x 653 = 47016
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47016
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 986/72,481/5224 is 1/47016
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 72,5224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(72,5224) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(72,5224) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(72,5224) = ( 72 × 5224 ) / 8
LCM(72,5224) = 376128 / 8
LCM(72,5224) = 47016
