Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 8905/36,9969/173
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 8905,9969
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 8905,9969 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,173 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,173 is 6228 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 8905,9969
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,3323,9969
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8905,9969 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8905,9969 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6228
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6228
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8905/36,9969/173 is 1/6228
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 36,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,173) = ( 36 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(36,173) = 6228 / 1
LCM(36,173) = 6228
