Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 724/69,2937/259
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 724,2937
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 724,2937 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 69,259 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 69,259 is 17871 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 724,2937
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,181,362,724
Factors of 2937
List of positive integer factors of 2937 that divides 2937 without a remainder.
1,3,11,33,89,267,979,2937
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 724,2937 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 724,2937 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 69,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17871
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17871
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 724/69,2937/259 is 1/17871
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 69,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(69,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(69,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(69,259) = ( 69 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(69,259) = 17871 / 1
LCM(69,259) = 17871
