Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 988/795,2917/994
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 988,2917
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 988,2917 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 795,994 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 795,994 is 790230 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 988,2917
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 988 that divides 988 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,19,26,38,52,76,247,494,988
Factors of 2917
List of positive integer factors of 2917 that divides 2917 without a remainder.
1,2917
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,2917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,2917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 795,994
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 790230
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/790230
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/795,2917/994 is 1/790230
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 795,994 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(795,994) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(795,994) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(795,994) = ( 795 × 994 ) / 1
LCM(795,994) = 790230 / 1
LCM(795,994) = 790230
