Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1724/21,5253/856
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 1724,5253
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1724,5253 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,856 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,856 is 17976 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1724,5253
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,431,862,1724
Factors of 5253
List of positive integer factors of 5253 that divides 5253 without a remainder.
1,3,17,51,103,309,1751,5253
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1724,5253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1724,5253 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,856
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1724/21,5253/856 is 1/17976
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 21,856 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,856) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,856) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,856) = ( 21 × 856 ) / 1
LCM(21,856) = 17976 / 1
LCM(21,856) = 17976
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
