Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 240/66,499/3719
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 240,499
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 240,499 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,3719 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,3719 is 245454 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 240,499
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 240 that divides 240 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,40,48,60,80,120,240
Factors of 499
List of positive integer factors of 499 that divides 499 without a remainder.
1,499
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,499 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,499 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,3719
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/66,499/3719 is 1/245454
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 66,3719 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,3719) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(66,3719) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(66,3719) = ( 66 × 3719 ) / 1
LCM(66,3719) = 245454 / 1
LCM(66,3719) = 245454
