Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 741/787,2246/163
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 741,2246
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 741,2246 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 787,163 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 787,163 is 128281 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 741,2246
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 741 that divides 741 without a remainder.
1,3,13,19,39,57,247,741
Factors of 2246
List of positive integer factors of 2246 that divides 2246 without a remainder.
1,2,1123,2246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 741,2246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 741,2246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 787,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 128281
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/128281
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 741/787,2246/163 is 1/128281
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 787,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(787,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(787,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(787,163) = ( 787 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(787,163) = 128281 / 1
LCM(787,163) = 128281
