Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/80,37/90,87/48,64/24
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 16,37,87,64
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,37,87,64 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 80,90,48,24 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 80,90,48,24 is 720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,37,87,64
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8,16,32,64
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,37,87,64 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,37,87,64 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 80,90,48,24
2 | 80, 90, 48, 24 |
2 | 40, 45, 24, 12 |
2 | 20, 45, 6, 12 |
2 | 10, 45, 3, 6 |
3 | 5, 45, 3, 3 |
5 | 5, 15, 1, 1 |
1, 3, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 1 x 3 x 1 x 1 = 720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/80,37/90,87/48,64/24 is 1/720
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 80,90,48,24 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(80,90,48,24) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 5760
GCF(80,90,48,24) x common factors =2 x 5760 = 11520
LCM(80,90,48,24) = ( 80 × 90 × 48 × 24 ) / 11520
LCM(80,90,48,24) = 8294400 / 11520
LCM(80,90,48,24) = 720
