Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 991/54,2216/783
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 991,2216
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 991,2216 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,783 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,783 is 1566 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 991,2216
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 2216
List of positive integer factors of 2216 that divides 2216 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,277,554,1108,2216
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 991,2216 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 991,2216 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,783
3 | 54, 783 |
3 | 18, 261 |
3 | 6, 87 |
2, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 29 = 1566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 991/54,2216/783 is 1/1566
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 54,783 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,783) = 27
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(54,783) x common factors =27 x 1 = 27
LCM(54,783) = ( 54 × 783 ) / 27
LCM(54,783) = 42282 / 27
LCM(54,783) = 1566
