Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 494/361,957/623
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 494,957
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 494,957 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 361,623 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 361,623 is 224903 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 494,957
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 494 that divides 494 without a remainder.
1,2,13,19,26,38,247,494
Factors of 957
List of positive integer factors of 957 that divides 957 without a remainder.
1,3,11,29,33,87,319,957
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 494,957 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 494,957 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 361,623
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 224903
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/224903
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/361,957/623 is 1/224903
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 361,623 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(361,623) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(361,623) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(361,623) = ( 361 × 623 ) / 1
LCM(361,623) = 224903 / 1
LCM(361,623) = 224903
