Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 157/11,591/61,371/40
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 157,591,371
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 157,591,371 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 11,61,40 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 11,61,40 is 26840 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 157,591,371
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,197,591
Factors of 371
List of positive integer factors of 371 that divides 371 without a remainder.
1,7,53,371
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 157,591,371 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 157,591,371 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 11,61,40
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/26840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 157/11,591/61,371/40 is 1/26840
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 11,61,40 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(11,61,40) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(11,61,40) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(11,61,40) = ( 11 × 61 × 40 ) / 1
LCM(11,61,40) = 26840 / 1
LCM(11,61,40) = 26840
