Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1587/29,8473/782
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 1587,8473
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1587,8473 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,782 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,782 is 22678 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1587,8473
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 8473
List of positive integer factors of 8473 that divides 8473 without a remainder.
1,37,229,8473
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1587,8473 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1587,8473 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,782
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/22678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1587/29,8473/782 is 1/22678
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 29,782 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,782) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,782) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,782) = ( 29 × 782 ) / 1
LCM(29,782) = 22678 / 1
LCM(29,782) = 22678
