Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4197/31,5542/191
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 4197,5542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4197,5542 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,191 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,191 is 5921 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4197,5542
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,1399,4197
Factors of 5542
List of positive integer factors of 5542 that divides 5542 without a remainder.
1,2,17,34,163,326,2771,5542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4197,5542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4197,5542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5921
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5921
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4197/31,5542/191 is 1/5921
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 31,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,191) = ( 31 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(31,191) = 5921 / 1
LCM(31,191) = 5921
