Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 727/97,742/7261
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 727,742
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 727,742 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,7261 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,7261 is 704317 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 727,742
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,727
Factors of 742
List of positive integer factors of 742 that divides 742 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,53,106,371,742
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 727,742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 727,742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,7261
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 704317
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/704317
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 727/97,742/7261 is 1/704317
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 97,7261 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,7261) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,7261) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,7261) = ( 97 × 7261 ) / 1
LCM(97,7261) = 704317 / 1
LCM(97,7261) = 704317
