Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 539/73,884/257
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 539,884
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 539,884 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,257 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,257 is 18761 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 539,884
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Factors of 884
List of positive integer factors of 884 that divides 884 without a remainder.
1,2,4,13,17,26,34,52,68,221,442,884
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 539,884 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 539,884 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 18761
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/18761
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/73,884/257 is 1/18761
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 73,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,257) = ( 73 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(73,257) = 18761 / 1
LCM(73,257) = 18761
