Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 994/737,1057/940
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 994,1057
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 994,1057 is 7 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 737,940 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 737,940 is 692780 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 994,1057
7 | 994, 1057 |
142, 151 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 7 = 7

Factors of 1057
List of positive integer factors of 1057 that divides 1057 without a remainder.
1,7,151,1057
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 994,1057 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 994,1057 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,940
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 692780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/692780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 994/737,1057/940 is 7/692780
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 737,940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,940) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,940) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,940) = ( 737 × 940 ) / 1
LCM(737,940) = 692780 / 1
LCM(737,940) = 692780
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
