Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 785/959,1914/138
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 785,1914
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 785,1914 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 959,138 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 959,138 is 132342 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 785,1914
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 1914
List of positive integer factors of 1914 that divides 1914 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,29,33,58,66,87,174,319,638,957,1914
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 785,1914 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 785,1914 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 959,138
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 785/959,1914/138 is 1/132342
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 959,138 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,138) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,138) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,138) = ( 959 × 138 ) / 1
LCM(959,138) = 132342 / 1
LCM(959,138) = 132342
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
