Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4979/310,1721/136
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 4979,1721
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4979,1721 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 310,136 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 310,136 is 21080 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4979,1721
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,13,383,4979
Factors of 1721
List of positive integer factors of 1721 that divides 1721 without a remainder.
1,1721
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4979,1721 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4979,1721 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 310,136
2 | 310, 136 |
155, 68 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 155 x 68 = 21080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4979/310,1721/136 is 1/21080
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 310,136 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(310,136) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(310,136) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(310,136) = ( 310 × 136 ) / 2
LCM(310,136) = 42160 / 2
LCM(310,136) = 21080
