Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 952/71,3557/304
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 952,3557
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 952,3557 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,304 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,304 is 21584 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 952,3557
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,7,8,14,17,28,34,56,68,119,136,238,476,952
Factors of 3557
List of positive integer factors of 3557 that divides 3557 without a remainder.
1,3557
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 952,3557 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 952,3557 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,304
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 952/71,3557/304 is 1/21584
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 71,304 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,304) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,304) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,304) = ( 71 × 304 ) / 1
LCM(71,304) = 21584 / 1
LCM(71,304) = 21584
