Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 137/99,3172/292
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 137,3172
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 137,3172 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,292 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,292 is 28908 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 137,3172
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,3172 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,3172 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,292
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/99,3172/292 is 1/28908
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 99,292 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,292) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,292) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,292) = ( 99 × 292 ) / 1
LCM(99,292) = 28908 / 1
LCM(99,292) = 28908
