Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 173/721,5932/550
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 173,5932
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 173,5932 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 721,550 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 721,550 is 396550 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 173,5932
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,173
Factors of 5932
List of positive integer factors of 5932 that divides 5932 without a remainder.
1,2,4,1483,2966,5932
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 173,5932 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 173,5932 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,550
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 396550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/396550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/721,5932/550 is 1/396550
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 721,550 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,550) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,550) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,550) = ( 721 × 550 ) / 1
LCM(721,550) = 396550 / 1
LCM(721,550) = 396550
