Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 429/15,157/7127
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 429,157
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 429,157 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,7127 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,7127 is 106905 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 429,157
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 429 that divides 429 without a remainder.
1,3,11,13,33,39,143,429
Factors of 157
List of positive integer factors of 157 that divides 157 without a remainder.
1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 429,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 429,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,7127
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 106905
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/106905
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 429/15,157/7127 is 1/106905
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 15,7127 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,7127) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(15,7127) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(15,7127) = ( 15 × 7127 ) / 1
LCM(15,7127) = 106905 / 1
LCM(15,7127) = 106905
