Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 735/400,872/943
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 735,872
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 735,872 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 400,943 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 400,943 is 377200 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 735,872
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,5,7,15,21,35,49,105,147,245,735
Factors of 872
List of positive integer factors of 872 that divides 872 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 735,872 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 735,872 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 400,943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 377200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/377200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/400,872/943 is 1/377200
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 400,943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(400,943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(400,943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(400,943) = ( 400 × 943 ) / 1
LCM(400,943) = 377200 / 1
LCM(400,943) = 377200
