Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 787/173,2949/759
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 787,2949
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 787,2949 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 173,759 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 173,759 is 131307 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 787,2949
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 787 that divides 787 without a remainder.
1,787
Factors of 2949
List of positive integer factors of 2949 that divides 2949 without a remainder.
1,3,983,2949
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 787,2949 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 787,2949 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,759
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 131307
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/131307
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 787/173,2949/759 is 1/131307
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 173,759 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,759) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,759) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,759) = ( 173 × 759 ) / 1
LCM(173,759) = 131307 / 1
LCM(173,759) = 131307
