Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4187/84,1541/119
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 4187,1541
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4187,1541 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 84,119 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 84,119 is 1428 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4187,1541
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 4187 that divides 4187 without a remainder.
1,53,79,4187
Factors of 1541
List of positive integer factors of 1541 that divides 1541 without a remainder.
1,23,67,1541
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4187,1541 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4187,1541 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,119
7 | 84, 119 |
12, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 12 x 17 = 1428
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1428
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4187/84,1541/119 is 1/1428
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 84,119 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,119) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,119) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(84,119) = ( 84 × 119 ) / 7
LCM(84,119) = 9996 / 7
LCM(84,119) = 1428
