Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 27/587,857/146
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 27,857
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 27,857 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 587,146 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 587,146 is 85702 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 27,857
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 27

1,3,9,27
Factors of 857
List of positive integer factors of 857 that divides 857 without a remainder.
1,857
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 27,857 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 27,857 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 587,146
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 85702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/85702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 27/587,857/146 is 1/85702
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 587,146 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(587,146) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(587,146) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(587,146) = ( 587 × 146 ) / 1
LCM(587,146) = 85702 / 1
LCM(587,146) = 85702
