Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 587/101,7443/3986
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 587,7443
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 587,7443 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 101,3986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 101,3986 is 402586 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 587,7443
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,827,2481,7443
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 587,7443 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 587,7443 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 101,3986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 402586
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/402586
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 587/101,7443/3986 is 1/402586
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 101,3986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(101,3986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(101,3986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(101,3986) = ( 101 × 3986 ) / 1
LCM(101,3986) = 402586 / 1
LCM(101,3986) = 402586
