Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 73/520,1715/2511
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 73,1715
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 73,1715 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 520,2511 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 520,2511 is 1305720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 73,1715
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,73
Factors of 1715
List of positive integer factors of 1715 that divides 1715 without a remainder.
1,5,7,35,49,245,343,1715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 73,1715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 73,1715 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 520,2511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1305720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1305720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 73/520,1715/2511 is 1/1305720
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 520,2511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(520,2511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(520,2511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(520,2511) = ( 520 × 2511 ) / 1
LCM(520,2511) = 1305720 / 1
LCM(520,2511) = 1305720
