Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 607/2197,542/1787
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 607,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 607,542 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 2197,1787 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 2197,1787 is 3926039 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 607,542
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,607
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 607,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 607,542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 2197,1787
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3926039
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3926039
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 607/2197,542/1787 is 1/3926039
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 2197,1787 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(2197,1787) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(2197,1787) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(2197,1787) = ( 2197 × 1787 ) / 1
LCM(2197,1787) = 3926039 / 1
LCM(2197,1787) = 3926039
