Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 388/637,7281/201
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 388,7281
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 388,7281 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 637,201 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 637,201 is 128037 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 388,7281
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 388 that divides 388 without a remainder.
1,2,4,97,194,388
Factors of 7281
List of positive integer factors of 7281 that divides 7281 without a remainder.
1,3,9,809,2427,7281
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 388,7281 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 388,7281 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 637,201
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128037
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128037
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 388/637,7281/201 is 1/128037
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 637,201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,201) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(637,201) = ( 637 × 201 ) / 1
LCM(637,201) = 128037 / 1
LCM(637,201) = 128037
