Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/12,658/37,574/359
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 11,658,574
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 11,658,574 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,37,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,37,359 is 159396 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,658,574
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,7,14,41,82,287,574
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,658,574 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,658,574 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,37,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159396
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159396
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/12,658/37,574/359 is 1/159396
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 12,37,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,37,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,37,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,37,359) = ( 12 × 37 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(12,37,359) = 159396 / 1
LCM(12,37,359) = 159396
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
