Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 992/10,874/743
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 992,874
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 992,874 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 10,743 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 10,743 is 7430 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 992,874
2 | 992, 874 |
496, 437 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,8,16,31,32,62,124,248,496,992
Factors of 874
List of positive integer factors of 874 that divides 874 without a remainder.
1,2,19,23,38,46,437,874
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 992,874 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 992,874 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7430
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7430
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/10,874/743 is 2/7430
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 10,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,743) = ( 10 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(10,743) = 7430 / 1
LCM(10,743) = 7430
