Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4985/17,3224/724
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 4985,3224
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4985,3224 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 17,724 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 17,724 is 12308 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4985,3224
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 3224 that divides 3224 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,13,26,31,52,62,104,124,248,403,806,1612,3224
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4985,3224 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4985,3224 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 17,724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 12308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4985/17,3224/724 is 1/12308
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 17,724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,724) = ( 17 × 724 ) / 1
LCM(17,724) = 12308 / 1
LCM(17,724) = 12308
