Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 593/84,480/487
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 593,480
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 593,480 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 84,487 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 84,487 is 40908 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 593,480
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,593
Factors of 480
List of positive integer factors of 480 that divides 480 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16,20,24,30,32,40,48,60,80,96,120,160,240,480
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 593,480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 593,480 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 84,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 40908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/40908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 593/84,480/487 is 1/40908
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 84,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(84,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(84,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(84,487) = ( 84 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(84,487) = 40908 / 1
LCM(84,487) = 40908
