Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 401/201,376/854
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 401,376
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 401,376 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 201,854 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 201,854 is 171654 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 401,376
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,401
Factors of 376
List of positive integer factors of 376 that divides 376 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,47,94,188,376
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 401,376 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 401,376 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 201,854
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/171654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 401/201,376/854 is 1/171654
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 201,854 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(201,854) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(201,854) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(201,854) = ( 201 × 854 ) / 1
LCM(201,854) = 171654 / 1
LCM(201,854) = 171654
