Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7246/49,2643/142
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 7246,2643
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 7246,2643 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 49,142 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 49,142 is 6958 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7246,2643
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 7246 that divides 7246 without a remainder.
1,2,3623,7246
Factors of 2643
List of positive integer factors of 2643 that divides 2643 without a remainder.
1,3,881,2643
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7246,2643 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7246,2643 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,142
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7246/49,2643/142 is 1/6958
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 49,142 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,142) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,142) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,142) = ( 49 × 142 ) / 1
LCM(49,142) = 6958 / 1
LCM(49,142) = 6958
