Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6997/60,5495/401
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 6997,5495
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6997,5495 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,401 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,401 is 24060 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6997,5495
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 6997 that divides 6997 without a remainder.
1,6997
Factors of 5495
List of positive integer factors of 5495 that divides 5495 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35,157,785,1099,5495
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6997,5495 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6997,5495 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6997/60,5495/401 is 1/24060
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 60,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(60,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(60,401) = ( 60 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(60,401) = 24060 / 1
LCM(60,401) = 24060
