Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 391/491,8725/602
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 391,8725
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 391,8725 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 491,602 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 491,602 is 295582 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 391,8725
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 391 that divides 391 without a remainder.
1,17,23,391
Factors of 8725
List of positive integer factors of 8725 that divides 8725 without a remainder.
1,5,25,349,1745,8725
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 391,8725 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 391,8725 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,602
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 295582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/295582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/491,8725/602 is 1/295582
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 491,602 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,602) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,602) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,602) = ( 491 × 602 ) / 1
LCM(491,602) = 295582 / 1
LCM(491,602) = 295582
