Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 176/571,261/551
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 176,261
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 176,261 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 571,551 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 571,551 is 314621 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 176,261
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 176 that divides 176 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,11,16,22,44,88,176
Factors of 261
List of positive integer factors of 261 that divides 261 without a remainder.
1,3,9,29,87,261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 176,261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 176,261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 571,551
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 314621
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/314621
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/571,261/551 is 1/314621
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 571,551 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,551) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,551) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,551) = ( 571 × 551 ) / 1
LCM(571,551) = 314621 / 1
LCM(571,551) = 314621
