Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 997/47,156/8361
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 997,156
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 997,156 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,8361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,8361 is 392967 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 997,156
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 997 that divides 997 without a remainder.
1,997
Factors of 156
List of positive integer factors of 156 that divides 156 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 997,156 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 997,156 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,8361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 392967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/392967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/47,156/8361 is 1/392967
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 47,8361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,8361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,8361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,8361) = ( 47 × 8361 ) / 1
LCM(47,8361) = 392967 / 1
LCM(47,8361) = 392967
