Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 523/22,168/987
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 523,168
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 523,168 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 22,987 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 22,987 is 21714 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 523,168
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 523 that divides 523 without a remainder.
1,523
Factors of 168
List of positive integer factors of 168 that divides 168 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 523,168 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 523,168 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 22,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21714
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21714
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 523/22,168/987 is 1/21714
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 22,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(22,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(22,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(22,987) = ( 22 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(22,987) = 21714 / 1
LCM(22,987) = 21714
