Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 271/407,3964/538
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 271,3964
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 271,3964 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 407,538 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 407,538 is 218966 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 271,3964
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,271
Factors of 3964
List of positive integer factors of 3964 that divides 3964 without a remainder.
1,2,4,991,1982,3964
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 271,3964 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 271,3964 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 407,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 218966
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/218966
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 271/407,3964/538 is 1/218966
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 407,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(407,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(407,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(407,538) = ( 407 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(407,538) = 218966 / 1
LCM(407,538) = 218966
