Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 837/425,302/595
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 837,302
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 837,302 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 425,595 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 425,595 is 2975 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 837,302
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,27,31,93,279,837
Factors of 302
List of positive integer factors of 302 that divides 302 without a remainder.
1,2,151,302
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 837,302 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 837,302 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 425,595
5 | 425, 595 |
17 | 85, 119 |
5, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 17 x 5 x 7 = 2975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 837/425,302/595 is 1/2975
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 425,595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(425,595) = 85
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(425,595) x common factors =85 x 1 = 85
LCM(425,595) = ( 425 × 595 ) / 85
LCM(425,595) = 252875 / 85
LCM(425,595) = 2975
