Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 2177/40,5996/629
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 2177,5996
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 2177,5996 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,629 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,629 is 25160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 2177,5996
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,1499,2998,5996
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2177,5996 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2177,5996 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,629
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2177/40,5996/629 is 1/25160
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 40,629 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,629) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,629) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,629) = ( 40 × 629 ) / 1
LCM(40,629) = 25160 / 1
LCM(40,629) = 25160
