Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 737/163,640/172
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 737,640
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 737,640 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 163,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 163,172 is 28036 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 737,640
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 640 that divides 640 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,32,40,64,80,128,160,320,640
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 737,640 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 737,640 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 163,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 737/163,640/172 is 1/28036
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 163,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,172) = ( 163 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(163,172) = 28036 / 1
LCM(163,172) = 28036
