Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/15,56/66,707/495
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 16,56,707
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,56,707 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,66,495 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,66,495 is 990 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,56,707
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 16

1,2,4,8,16
Factors of 56
List of positive integer factors of 56 that divides 56 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,28,56
Factors of 707
List of positive integer factors of 707 that divides 707 without a remainder.
1,7,101,707
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,56,707 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,56,707 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,66,495
3 | 15, 66, 495 |
5 | 5, 22, 165 |
11 | 1, 22, 33 |
1, 2, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 11 x 1 x 2 x 3 = 990
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/990
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/15,56/66,707/495 is 1/990
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 15,66,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,66,495) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 165
GCF(15,66,495) x common factors =3 x 165 = 495
LCM(15,66,495) = ( 15 × 66 × 495 ) / 495
LCM(15,66,495) = 490050 / 495
LCM(15,66,495) = 990
