Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4204/23,1709/491
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 4204,1709
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4204,1709 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,491 is 11293 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4204,1709
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1709
List of positive integer factors of 1709 that divides 1709 without a remainder.
1,1709
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4204,1709 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4204,1709 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11293
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11293
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4204/23,1709/491 is 1/11293
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 23,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,491) = ( 23 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(23,491) = 11293 / 1
LCM(23,491) = 11293
