Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 13/26,720/74,201/840
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 13,720,201
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 13,720,201 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,74,840 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,74,840 is 404040 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 13,720,201
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,16,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,48,60,72,80,90,120,144,180,240,360,720
Factors of 201
List of positive integer factors of 201 that divides 201 without a remainder.
1,3,67,201
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 13,720,201 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 13,720,201 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,74,840
2 | 26, 74, 840 |
13, 37, 420 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 13 x 37 x 420 = 404040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/404040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 13/26,720/74,201/840 is 1/404040
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 26,74,840 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,74,840) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(26,74,840) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(26,74,840) = ( 26 × 74 × 840 ) / 4
LCM(26,74,840) = 1616160 / 4
LCM(26,74,840) = 404040
