Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 995/748,476/972
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 995,476
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 995,476 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 748,972 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 748,972 is 181764 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 995,476
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,7,14,17,28,34,68,119,238,476
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 995,476 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 995,476 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,972
2 | 748, 972 |
2 | 374, 486 |
187, 243 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 187 x 243 = 181764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/181764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/748,476/972 is 1/181764
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 748,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,972) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,972) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(748,972) = ( 748 × 972 ) / 4
LCM(748,972) = 727056 / 4
LCM(748,972) = 181764
