Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1686/18,5131/347
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 1686,5131
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1686,5131 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,347 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,347 is 6246 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1686,5131
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 1686 that divides 1686 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,281,562,843,1686
Factors of 5131
List of positive integer factors of 5131 that divides 5131 without a remainder.
1,7,733,5131
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1686,5131 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1686,5131 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6246
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6246
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1686/18,5131/347 is 1/6246
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 18,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,347) = ( 18 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(18,347) = 6246 / 1
LCM(18,347) = 6246
