Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 948/97,857/429
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 948,857
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 948,857 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,429 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,429 is 41613 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 948,857
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,12,79,158,237,316,474,948
Factors of 857
List of positive integer factors of 857 that divides 857 without a remainder.
1,857
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 948,857 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 948,857 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,429
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41613
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/41613
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/97,857/429 is 1/41613
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 97,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,429) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,429) = ( 97 × 429 ) / 1
LCM(97,429) = 41613 / 1
LCM(97,429) = 41613
