Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 10/32,79/49,44/20,55/71
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 10,79,44,55
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 10,79,44,55 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 32,49,20,71 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 32,49,20,71 is 556640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 10,79,44,55
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,11,22,44
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 10,79,44,55 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 10,79,44,55 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,49,20,71
2 | 32, 49, 20, 71 |
2 | 16, 49, 10, 71 |
8, 49, 5, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 8 x 49 x 5 x 71 = 556640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/556640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 10/32,79/49,44/20,55/71 is 1/556640
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 32,49,20,71 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,49,20,71) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(32,49,20,71) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(32,49,20,71) = ( 32 × 49 × 20 × 71 ) / 4
LCM(32,49,20,71) = 2226560 / 4
LCM(32,49,20,71) = 556640
