Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 712/427,189/374
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 712,189
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 712,189 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 427,374 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 427,374 is 159698 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 712,189
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 712 that divides 712 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,89,178,356,712
Factors of 189
List of positive integer factors of 189 that divides 189 without a remainder.
1,3,7,9,21,27,63,189
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 712,189 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 712,189 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 427,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 712/427,189/374 is 1/159698
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 427,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(427,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(427,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(427,374) = ( 427 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(427,374) = 159698 / 1
LCM(427,374) = 159698
