Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 197/334,4942/361
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 197,4942
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 197,4942 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 334,361 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 334,361 is 120574 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 197,4942
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,7,14,353,706,2471,4942
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 197,4942 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 197,4942 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 120574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/120574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/334,4942/361 is 1/120574
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 334,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,361) = ( 334 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(334,361) = 120574 / 1
LCM(334,361) = 120574
