Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 337/463,1572/171
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 337,1572
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 337,1572 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 463,171 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 463,171 is 79173 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 337,1572
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,12,131,262,393,524,786,1572
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 337,1572 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 337,1572 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 463,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79173
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/79173
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 337/463,1572/171 is 1/79173
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 463,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(463,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(463,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(463,171) = ( 463 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(463,171) = 79173 / 1
LCM(463,171) = 79173
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
