Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5321/43,7493/279
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 5321,7493
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5321,7493 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,279 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,279 is 11997 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5321,7493
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 5321 that divides 5321 without a remainder.
1,17,313,5321
Factors of 7493
List of positive integer factors of 7493 that divides 7493 without a remainder.
1,59,127,7493
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5321,7493 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5321,7493 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,279
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11997
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11997
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5321/43,7493/279 is 1/11997
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 43,279 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,279) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,279) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,279) = ( 43 × 279 ) / 1
LCM(43,279) = 11997 / 1
LCM(43,279) = 11997
