Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 11/31,256/97,262/56
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 11,256,262
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 11,256,262 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,97,56 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,97,56 is 168392 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 11,256,262
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 11
List of positive integer factors of 11 that divides 11 without a remainder.
1,11

1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
Factors of 262
List of positive integer factors of 262 that divides 262 without a remainder.
1,2,131,262
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 11,256,262 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 11,256,262 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,97,56
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168392
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/168392
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 11/31,256/97,262/56 is 1/168392
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 31,97,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,97,56) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,97,56) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,97,56) = ( 31 × 97 × 56 ) / 1
LCM(31,97,56) = 168392 / 1
LCM(31,97,56) = 168392
