Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 499/496,594/299
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 499,594
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 499,594 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 496,299 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 496,299 is 148304 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 499,594
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,27,33,54,66,99,198,297,594
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 499,594 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 499,594 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,299
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148304
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/148304
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/496,594/299 is 1/148304
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 496,299 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,299) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,299) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,299) = ( 496 × 299 ) / 1
LCM(496,299) = 148304 / 1
LCM(496,299) = 148304
