Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7232/64,3261/987
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 7232,3261
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7232,3261 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 64,987 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 64,987 is 63168 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7232,3261
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8,16,32,64,113,226,452,904,1808,3616,7232
Factors of 3261
List of positive integer factors of 3261 that divides 3261 without a remainder.
1,3,1087,3261
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7232,3261 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7232,3261 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63168
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/63168
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7232/64,3261/987 is 1/63168
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 64,987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(64,987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(64,987) = ( 64 × 987 ) / 1
LCM(64,987) = 63168 / 1
LCM(64,987) = 63168
