Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 999/280,406/752
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 999,406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 999,406 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 280,752 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 280,752 is 26320 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 999,406
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,27,37,111,333,999
Factors of 406
List of positive integer factors of 406 that divides 406 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 999,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 280,752
2 | 280, 752 |
2 | 140, 376 |
2 | 70, 188 |
35, 94 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 35 x 94 = 26320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/280,406/752 is 1/26320
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 280,752 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(280,752) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(280,752) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(280,752) = ( 280 × 752 ) / 8
LCM(280,752) = 210560 / 8
LCM(280,752) = 26320
