Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 13/21,96/63,917/72
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 13,96,917
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 13,96,917 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,63,72 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,63,72 is 504 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 13,96,917
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,32,48,96
Factors of 917
List of positive integer factors of 917 that divides 917 without a remainder.
1,7,131,917
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,96,917 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,96,917 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,63,72
3 | 21, 63, 72 |
3 | 7, 21, 24 |
7 | 7, 7, 8 |
1, 1, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 8 = 504
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/504
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/21,96/63,917/72 is 1/504
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 21,63,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,63,72) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 63
GCF(21,63,72) x common factors =3 x 63 = 189
LCM(21,63,72) = ( 21 × 63 × 72 ) / 189
LCM(21,63,72) = 95256 / 189
LCM(21,63,72) = 504
