Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 287/18,6500/143
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 287,6500
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 287,6500 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,143 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,143 is 2574 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 287,6500
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 6500
List of positive integer factors of 6500 that divides 6500 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,13,20,25,26,50,52,65,100,125,130,250,260,325,500,650,1300,1625,3250,6500
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 287,6500 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 287,6500 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,143
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2574
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2574
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 287/18,6500/143 is 1/2574
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 18,143 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,143) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(18,143) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(18,143) = ( 18 × 143 ) / 1
LCM(18,143) = 2574 / 1
LCM(18,143) = 2574
