Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 999/27,789/643
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 999,789
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 999,789 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,643 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,643 is 17361 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 999,789
3 | 999, 789 |
333, 263 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Factors of 789
List of positive integer factors of 789 that divides 789 without a remainder.
1,3,263,789
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 999,789 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,789 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,643
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17361
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/17361
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/27,789/643 is 3/17361
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 27,643 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,643) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,643) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,643) = ( 27 × 643 ) / 1
LCM(27,643) = 17361 / 1
LCM(27,643) = 17361
