Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1416/79,2531/252
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 1416,2531
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1416,2531 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,252 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,252 is 19908 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1416,2531
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,59,118,177,236,354,472,708,1416
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 1416,2531 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1416,2531 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,252
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 19908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/19908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1416/79,2531/252 is 1/19908
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 79,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,252) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,252) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,252) = ( 79 × 252 ) / 1
LCM(79,252) = 19908 / 1
LCM(79,252) = 19908
