Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 12/67,48/61,518/986
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 12,48,518
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 12,48,518 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 67,61,986 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 67,61,986 is 4029782 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 12,48,518
2 | 12, 48, 518 |
6, 24, 259 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,7,14,37,74,259,518
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 12,48,518 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 12,48,518 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 67,61,986
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4029782
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4029782
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 12/67,48/61,518/986 is 2/4029782
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 67,61,986 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,61,986) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,61,986) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,61,986) = ( 67 × 61 × 986 ) / 1
LCM(67,61,986) = 4029782 / 1
LCM(67,61,986) = 4029782
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
