Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4451/73,8518/497
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 4451,8518
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4451,8518 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,497 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,497 is 36281 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4451,8518
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,4451
Factors of 8518
List of positive integer factors of 8518 that divides 8518 without a remainder.
1,2,4259,8518
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4451,8518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4451,8518 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36281
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36281
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4451/73,8518/497 is 1/36281
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 73,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,497) = ( 73 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(73,497) = 36281 / 1
LCM(73,497) = 36281
