Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9980/77,1005/538
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 9980,1005
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 9980,1005 is 5 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,538 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,538 is 41426 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 9980,1005
5 | 9980, 1005 |
1996, 201 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 = 5

Factors of 1005
List of positive integer factors of 1005 that divides 1005 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,67,201,335,1005
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9980,1005 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9980,1005 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/41426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9980/77,1005/538 is 5/41426
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 77,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,538) = ( 77 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(77,538) = 41426 / 1
LCM(77,538) = 41426
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
