Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 845/493,3241/235
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 845,3241
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 845,3241 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 493,235 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 493,235 is 115855 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 845,3241
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 845 that divides 845 without a remainder.
1,5,13,65,169,845
Factors of 3241
List of positive integer factors of 3241 that divides 3241 without a remainder.
1,7,463,3241
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 845,3241 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 845,3241 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,235
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/115855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 845/493,3241/235 is 1/115855
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 493,235 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,235) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,235) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,235) = ( 493 × 235 ) / 1
LCM(493,235) = 115855 / 1
LCM(493,235) = 115855
