Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1735/42,1494/421
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 1735,1494
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1735,1494 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,421 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,421 is 17682 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1735,1494
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,5,347,1735
Factors of 1494
List of positive integer factors of 1494 that divides 1494 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,83,166,249,498,747,1494
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1735,1494 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1735,1494 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17682
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17682
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1735/42,1494/421 is 1/17682
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 42,421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(42,421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(42,421) = ( 42 × 421 ) / 1
LCM(42,421) = 17682 / 1
LCM(42,421) = 17682
