Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5119/79,8661/461
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 5119,8661
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5119,8661 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,461 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,461 is 36419 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5119,8661
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5119

1,5119
Factors of 8661
List of positive integer factors of 8661 that divides 8661 without a remainder.
1,3,2887,8661
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5119,8661 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5119,8661 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36419
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36419
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5119/79,8661/461 is 1/36419
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 79,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,461) = ( 79 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(79,461) = 36419 / 1
LCM(79,461) = 36419
