Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1/68,212/11,149/18
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 1,212,149
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1,212,149 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 68,11,18 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 68,11,18 is 6732 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1,212,149
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,53,106,212
Factors of 149
List of positive integer factors of 149 that divides 149 without a remainder.
1,149
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1,212,149 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1,212,149 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,11,18
2 | 68, 11, 18 |
34, 11, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 34 x 11 x 9 = 6732
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6732
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1/68,212/11,149/18 is 1/6732
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 68,11,18 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,11,18) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(68,11,18) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(68,11,18) = ( 68 × 11 × 18 ) / 2
LCM(68,11,18) = 13464 / 2
LCM(68,11,18) = 6732
