Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 15/27,46/21,703/942
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 15,46,703
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 15,46,703 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,21,942 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,21,942 is 59346 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 15,46,703
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 15
List of positive integer factors of 15 that divides 15 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15

1,2,23,46
Factors of 703
List of positive integer factors of 703 that divides 703 without a remainder.
1,19,37,703
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 15,46,703 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 15,46,703 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,21,942
3 | 27, 21, 942 |
9, 7, 314 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 9 x 7 x 314 = 59346
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59346
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 15/27,46/21,703/942 is 1/59346
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 27,21,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,21,942) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(27,21,942) x common factors =3 x 3 = 9
LCM(27,21,942) = ( 27 × 21 × 942 ) / 9
LCM(27,21,942) = 534114 / 9
LCM(27,21,942) = 59346
