Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 988/375,3317/689
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 988,3317
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 988,3317 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 375,689 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 375,689 is 258375 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 988,3317
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,13,19,26,38,52,76,247,494,988
Factors of 3317
List of positive integer factors of 3317 that divides 3317 without a remainder.
1,31,107,3317
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,3317 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,3317 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 375,689
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 258375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/258375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/375,3317/689 is 1/258375
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 375,689 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(375,689) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(375,689) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(375,689) = ( 375 × 689 ) / 1
LCM(375,689) = 258375 / 1
LCM(375,689) = 258375
