Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 168/17,725/4842
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 168,725
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 168,725 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,4842 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,4842 is 82314 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 168,725
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 168 that divides 168 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Factors of 725
List of positive integer factors of 725 that divides 725 without a remainder.
1,5,25,29,145,725
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 168,725 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 168,725 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,4842
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82314
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/82314
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/17,725/4842 is 1/82314
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 17,4842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,4842) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,4842) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,4842) = ( 17 × 4842 ) / 1
LCM(17,4842) = 82314 / 1
LCM(17,4842) = 82314
