Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 999/887,2531/211
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 999,2531
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 999,2531 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 887,211 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 887,211 is 187157 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 999,2531
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 999 that divides 999 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,37,111,333,999
Factors of 2531
List of positive integer factors of 2531 that divides 2531 without a remainder.
1,2531
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 999,2531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 999,2531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 887,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 187157
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/187157
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 999/887,2531/211 is 1/187157
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 887,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(887,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(887,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(887,211) = ( 887 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(887,211) = 187157 / 1
LCM(887,211) = 187157
