Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/473,749/137
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 72,749
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 72,749 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 473,137 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 473,137 is 64801 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,749
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 749
List of positive integer factors of 749 that divides 749 without a remainder.
1,7,107,749
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,749 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,749 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 473,137
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64801
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/64801
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/473,749/137 is 1/64801
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 473,137 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(473,137) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(473,137) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(473,137) = ( 473 × 137 ) / 1
LCM(473,137) = 64801 / 1
LCM(473,137) = 64801
