Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5972/73,6599/163
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 5972,6599
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5972,6599 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 73,163 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 73,163 is 11899 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5972,6599
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 6599
List of positive integer factors of 6599 that divides 6599 without a remainder.
1,6599
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5972,6599 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5972,6599 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11899
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11899
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5972/73,6599/163 is 1/11899
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 73,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,163) = ( 73 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(73,163) = 11899 / 1
LCM(73,163) = 11899
