Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 609/271,5897/240
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 609,5897
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 609,5897 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 271,240 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 271,240 is 65040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 609,5897
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 609 that divides 609 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21,29,87,203,609
Factors of 5897
List of positive integer factors of 5897 that divides 5897 without a remainder.
1,5897
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 609,5897 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 609,5897 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,240
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/65040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 609/271,5897/240 is 1/65040
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 271,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,240) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,240) = ( 271 × 240 ) / 1
LCM(271,240) = 65040 / 1
LCM(271,240) = 65040
