Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3845/17,1636/406
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 3845,1636
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3845,1636 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,406 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,406 is 6902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3845,1636
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 3845 that divides 3845 without a remainder.
1,5,769,3845
Factors of 1636
List of positive integer factors of 1636 that divides 1636 without a remainder.
1,2,4,409,818,1636
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3845,1636 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3845,1636 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,406
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3845/17,1636/406 is 1/6902
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 17,406 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,406) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,406) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,406) = ( 17 × 406 ) / 1
LCM(17,406) = 6902 / 1
LCM(17,406) = 6902
