Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 992/859,412/496
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 992,412
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 992,412 is 4 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 859,496 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 859,496 is 426064 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 992,412
2 | 992, 412 |
2 | 496, 206 |
248, 103 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 = 4

List of positive integer factors of 412 that divides 412 without a remainder.
1,2,4,103,206,412
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 992,412 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 992,412 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 859,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/426064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 992/859,412/496 is 4/426064
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 859,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,496) = ( 859 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(859,496) = 426064 / 1
LCM(859,496) = 426064
