Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 601/727,8872/485
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 601,8872
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 601,8872 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 727,485 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 727,485 is 352595 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 601,8872
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 8872
List of positive integer factors of 8872 that divides 8872 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,1109,2218,4436,8872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 601,8872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 601,8872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,485
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 352595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/352595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 601/727,8872/485 is 1/352595
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 727,485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,485) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,485) = ( 727 × 485 ) / 1
LCM(727,485) = 352595 / 1
LCM(727,485) = 352595
