Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 999/46,731/9884
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 999,731
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 999,731 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,9884 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,9884 is 227332 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 999,731
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,27,37,111,333,999
Factors of 731
List of positive integer factors of 731 that divides 731 without a remainder.
1,17,43,731
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 999,731 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,731 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,9884
2 | 46, 9884 |
23, 4942 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 23 x 4942 = 227332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/227332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/46,731/9884 is 1/227332
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 46,9884 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,9884) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,9884) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(46,9884) = ( 46 × 9884 ) / 2
LCM(46,9884) = 454664 / 2
LCM(46,9884) = 227332
