Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3179/12,9264/479
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 3179,9264
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3179,9264 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,479 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,479 is 5748 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3179,9264
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3179,9264 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3179,9264 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5748
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5748
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3179/12,9264/479 is 1/5748
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 12,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,479) = ( 12 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(12,479) = 5748 / 1
LCM(12,479) = 5748
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
