Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 988/929,190/728
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 988,190
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 988,190 is 38 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 929,728 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 929,728 is 676312 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 988,190
2 | 988, 190 |
19 | 494, 95 |
26, 5 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 19 = 38

Factors of 190
List of positive integer factors of 190 that divides 190 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,19,38,95,190
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 988,190 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 988,190 is 38.
Lets's calculate LCM of 929,728
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 676312
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/676312
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 988/929,190/728 is 38/676312
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 929,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(929,728) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(929,728) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(929,728) = ( 929 × 728 ) / 1
LCM(929,728) = 676312 / 1
LCM(929,728) = 676312
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
