Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 173/175,5212/683
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 173,5212
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 173,5212 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 175,683 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 175,683 is 119525 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 173,5212
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,173
Factors of 5212
List of positive integer factors of 5212 that divides 5212 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1303,2606,5212
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,5212 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,5212 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 175,683
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119525
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/119525
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/175,5212/683 is 1/119525
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 175,683 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(175,683) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(175,683) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(175,683) = ( 175 × 683 ) / 1
LCM(175,683) = 119525 / 1
LCM(175,683) = 119525
