Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 492/23,253/4442
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 492,253
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 492,253 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,4442 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,4442 is 102166 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 492,253
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 492 that divides 492 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,12,41,82,123,164,246,492
Factors of 253
List of positive integer factors of 253 that divides 253 without a remainder.
1,11,23,253
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 492,253 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 492,253 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,4442
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102166
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102166
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/23,253/4442 is 1/102166
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 23,4442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,4442) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,4442) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,4442) = ( 23 × 4442 ) / 1
LCM(23,4442) = 102166 / 1
LCM(23,4442) = 102166
