Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 801/167,8561/237
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 801,8561
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 801,8561 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 167,237 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 167,237 is 39579 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 801,8561
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 801 that divides 801 without a remainder.
1,3,9,89,267,801
Factors of 8561
List of positive integer factors of 8561 that divides 8561 without a remainder.
1,7,1223,8561
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 801,8561 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 801,8561 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 167,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39579
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/39579
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 801/167,8561/237 is 1/39579
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 167,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,237) = ( 167 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(167,237) = 39579 / 1
LCM(167,237) = 39579
