Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 997/76,974/836
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 997,974
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 997,974 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 76,836 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 76,836 is 836 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 997,974
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 974
List of positive integer factors of 974 that divides 974 without a remainder.
1,2,487,974
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 997,974 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 997,974 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 76,836
2 | 76, 836 |
2 | 38, 418 |
19 | 19, 209 |
1, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 1 x 11 = 836
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/836
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/76,974/836 is 1/836
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 76,836 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(76,836) = 76
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(76,836) x common factors =76 x 1 = 76
LCM(76,836) = ( 76 × 836 ) / 76
LCM(76,836) = 63536 / 76
LCM(76,836) = 836
