Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 14/16,74/10,60/45,30/54
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 14,74,60,30
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 14,74,60,30 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,10,45,54 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,10,45,54 is 2160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,74,60,30
2 | 14, 74, 60, 30 |
7, 37, 30, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,74,60,30 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,74,60,30 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,10,45,54
2 | 16, 10, 45, 54 |
3 | 8, 5, 45, 27 |
3 | 8, 5, 15, 9 |
5 | 8, 5, 5, 3 |
8, 1, 1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 8 x 1 x 1 x 3 = 2160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/16,74/10,60/45,30/54 is 2/2160
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 16,10,45,54 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,10,45,54) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 180
GCF(16,10,45,54) x common factors =1 x 180 = 180
LCM(16,10,45,54) = ( 16 × 10 × 45 × 54 ) / 180
LCM(16,10,45,54) = 388800 / 180
LCM(16,10,45,54) = 2160
