Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3781/82,3158/359
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 3781,3158
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3781,3158 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 82,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 82,359 is 29438 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3781,3158
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 3781 that divides 3781 without a remainder.
1,19,199,3781
Factors of 3158
List of positive integer factors of 3158 that divides 3158 without a remainder.
1,2,1579,3158
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3781,3158 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3781,3158 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 29438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/29438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3781/82,3158/359 is 1/29438
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 82,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,359) = ( 82 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(82,359) = 29438 / 1
LCM(82,359) = 29438
