Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 897/971,3176/778
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 897,3176
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 897,3176 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 971,778 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 971,778 is 755438 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 897,3176
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,13,23,39,69,299,897
Factors of 3176
List of positive integer factors of 3176 that divides 3176 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,397,794,1588,3176
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 897,3176 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 897,3176 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 755438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/755438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/971,3176/778 is 1/755438
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 971,778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,778) = ( 971 × 778 ) / 1
LCM(971,778) = 755438 / 1
LCM(971,778) = 755438
