Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 421/99,3488/599
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 421,3488
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 421,3488 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,599 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,599 is 59301 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 421,3488
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 3488
List of positive integer factors of 3488 that divides 3488 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32,109,218,436,872,1744,3488
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 421,3488 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 421,3488 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 59301
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59301
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 421/99,3488/599 is 1/59301
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 99,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,599) = ( 99 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(99,599) = 59301 / 1
LCM(99,599) = 59301
