Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 149/73,396/231
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 149,396
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 149,396 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,231 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,231 is 16863 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 149,396
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 149 that divides 149 without a remainder.
1,149
Factors of 396
List of positive integer factors of 396 that divides 396 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,11,12,18,22,33,36,44,66,99,132,198,396
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 149,396 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 149,396 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16863
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/16863
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 149/73,396/231 is 1/16863
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 73,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,231) = ( 73 × 231 ) / 1
LCM(73,231) = 16863 / 1
LCM(73,231) = 16863
