Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 998/11,390/969
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 998,390
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 998,390 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,969 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,969 is 10659 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 998,390
2 | 998, 390 |
499, 195 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,499,998
Factors of 390
List of positive integer factors of 390 that divides 390 without a remainder.
1,2,3,5,6,10,13,15,26,30,39,65,78,130,195,390
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 998,390 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 998,390 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 10659
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/10659
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 998/11,390/969 is 2/10659
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 11,969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,969) = ( 11 × 969 ) / 1
LCM(11,969) = 10659 / 1
LCM(11,969) = 10659
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
