Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 14/61,36/31,542/860
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 14,36,542
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 14,36,542 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,31,860 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,31,860 is 1626260 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 14,36,542
2 | 14, 36, 542 |
7, 18, 271 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2
Factors of 14
List of positive integer factors of 14 that divides 14 without a remainder.

List of positive integer factors of 36 that divides 36 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 542
List of positive integer factors of 542 that divides 542 without a remainder.
1,2,271,542
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 14,36,542 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 14,36,542 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,31,860
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1626260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1626260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 14/61,36/31,542/860 is 2/1626260
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 61,31,860 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,31,860) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,31,860) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,31,860) = ( 61 × 31 × 860 ) / 1
LCM(61,31,860) = 1626260 / 1
LCM(61,31,860) = 1626260
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
