Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 855/721,557/656
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 855,557
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 855,557 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 721,656 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 721,656 is 472976 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 855,557
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,5,9,15,19,45,57,95,171,285,855
Factors of 557
List of positive integer factors of 557 that divides 557 without a remainder.
1,557
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 855,557 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 855,557 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 721,656
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472976
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/472976
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 855/721,557/656 is 1/472976
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 721,656 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(721,656) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(721,656) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(721,656) = ( 721 × 656 ) / 1
LCM(721,656) = 472976 / 1
LCM(721,656) = 472976
