Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 744/919,659/172
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 744,659
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 744,659 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 919,172 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 919,172 is 158068 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 744,659
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 744 that divides 744 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24,31,62,93,124,186,248,372,744
Factors of 659
List of positive integer factors of 659 that divides 659 without a remainder.
1,659
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 744,659 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 744,659 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 919,172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158068
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/158068
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 744/919,659/172 is 1/158068
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 919,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(919,172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(919,172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(919,172) = ( 919 × 172 ) / 1
LCM(919,172) = 158068 / 1
LCM(919,172) = 158068
