Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 642/267,523/388
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 642,523
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 642,523 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 267,388 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 267,388 is 103596 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 642,523
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 642 that divides 642 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,107,214,321,642
Factors of 523
List of positive integer factors of 523 that divides 523 without a remainder.
1,523
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 642,523 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 642,523 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 267,388
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/103596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 642/267,523/388 is 1/103596
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 267,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(267,388) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(267,388) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(267,388) = ( 267 × 388 ) / 1
LCM(267,388) = 103596 / 1
LCM(267,388) = 103596
