Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 555/37,406/749
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 555,406
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 555,406 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,749 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,749 is 27713 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 555,406
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,5,15,37,111,185,555
Factors of 406
List of positive integer factors of 406 that divides 406 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,29,58,203,406
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 555,406 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 555,406 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,749
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27713
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/27713
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 555/37,406/749 is 1/27713
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 37,749 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,749) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,749) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,749) = ( 37 × 749 ) / 1
LCM(37,749) = 27713 / 1
LCM(37,749) = 27713
