Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1187/19,1017/436
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 1187,1017
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1187,1017 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,436 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,436 is 8284 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1187,1017
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,1187
Factors of 1017
List of positive integer factors of 1017 that divides 1017 without a remainder.
1,3,9,113,339,1017
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1187,1017 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1187,1017 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8284
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8284
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1187/19,1017/436 is 1/8284
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 19,436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,436) = ( 19 × 436 ) / 1
LCM(19,436) = 8284 / 1
LCM(19,436) = 8284
