Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1399/28,4052/172
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 1399,4052
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1399,4052 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 28,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 28,172 is 1204 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1399,4052
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,1013,2026,4052
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1399,4052 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1399,4052 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 28,172
2 | 28, 172 |
2 | 14, 86 |
7, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 7 x 43 = 1204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1399/28,4052/172 is 1/1204
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 28,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(28,172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(28,172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(28,172) = ( 28 × 172 ) / 4
LCM(28,172) = 4816 / 4
LCM(28,172) = 1204
