Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1604/23,2503/879
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 1604,2503
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1604,2503 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,879 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,879 is 20217 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1604,2503
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 1604 that divides 1604 without a remainder.
1,2,4,401,802,1604
Factors of 2503
List of positive integer factors of 2503 that divides 2503 without a remainder.
1,2503
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1604,2503 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1604,2503 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,879
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20217
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20217
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1604/23,2503/879 is 1/20217
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 23,879 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,879) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,879) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,879) = ( 23 × 879 ) / 1
LCM(23,879) = 20217 / 1
LCM(23,879) = 20217
