Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 842/13,3179/899
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 842,3179
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 842,3179 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,899 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,899 is 11687 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 842,3179
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 842 that divides 842 without a remainder.
1,2,421,842
Factors of 3179
List of positive integer factors of 3179 that divides 3179 without a remainder.
1,11,17,187,289,3179
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 842,3179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 842,3179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,899
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 11687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 842/13,3179/899 is 1/11687
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 13,899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,899) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,899) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,899) = ( 13 × 899 ) / 1
LCM(13,899) = 11687 / 1
LCM(13,899) = 11687
