Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3998/14,1177/801
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 3998,1177
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3998,1177 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 14,801 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 14,801 is 11214 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3998,1177
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 3998 that divides 3998 without a remainder.
1,2,1999,3998
Factors of 1177
List of positive integer factors of 1177 that divides 1177 without a remainder.
1,11,107,1177
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3998,1177 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3998,1177 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 14,801
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11214
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11214
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3998/14,1177/801 is 1/11214
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 14,801 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(14,801) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(14,801) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(14,801) = ( 14 × 801 ) / 1
LCM(14,801) = 11214 / 1
LCM(14,801) = 11214
