Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 872/939,477/187
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 872,477
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 872,477 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 939,187 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 939,187 is 175593 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 872,477
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 872 that divides 872 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,109,218,436,872
Factors of 477
List of positive integer factors of 477 that divides 477 without a remainder.
1,3,9,53,159,477
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 872,477 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 872,477 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 939,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 175593
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/175593
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 872/939,477/187 is 1/175593
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 939,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(939,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(939,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(939,187) = ( 939 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(939,187) = 175593 / 1
LCM(939,187) = 175593
