Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5895/41,4901/979
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 5895,4901
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5895,4901 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 41,979 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 41,979 is 40139 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5895,4901
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,5,9,15,45,131,393,655,1179,1965,5895
Factors of 4901
List of positive integer factors of 4901 that divides 4901 without a remainder.
1,13,29,169,377,4901
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5895,4901 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5895,4901 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 41,979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40139
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40139
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5895/41,4901/979 is 1/40139
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 41,979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(41,979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(41,979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(41,979) = ( 41 × 979 ) / 1
LCM(41,979) = 40139 / 1
LCM(41,979) = 40139
