Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 774/538,823/491
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 774,823
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 774,823 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 538,491 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 538,491 is 264158 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 774,823
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 774 that divides 774 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,43,86,129,258,387,774
Factors of 823
List of positive integer factors of 823 that divides 823 without a remainder.
1,823
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 774,823 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 774,823 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 538,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264158
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264158
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 774/538,823/491 is 1/264158
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 538,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,491) = ( 538 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(538,491) = 264158 / 1
LCM(538,491) = 264158
