Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 988/307,752/993
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 988,752
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 988,752 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 307,993 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 307,993 is 304851 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 988,752
2 | 988, 752 |
2 | 494, 376 |
247, 188 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

1,2,4,8,16,47,94,188,376,752
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,752 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,752 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 307,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 304851
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/304851
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/307,752/993 is 4/304851
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 307,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,993) = ( 307 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(307,993) = 304851 / 1
LCM(307,993) = 304851
