Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 16/94,496/41,112/461
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 16,496,112
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 16,496,112 is 16 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 94,41,461 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 94,41,461 is 1776694 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 16,496,112
2 | 16, 496, 112 |
2 | 8, 248, 56 |
2 | 4, 124, 28 |
2 | 2, 62, 14 |
1, 31, 7 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

List of positive integer factors of 496 that divides 496 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,31,62,124,248,496
Factors of 112
List of positive integer factors of 112 that divides 112 without a remainder.
1,2,4,7,8,14,16,28,56,112
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 16,496,112 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 16,496,112 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,41,461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1776694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/1776694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 16/94,496/41,112/461 is 16/1776694
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 94,41,461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,41,461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,41,461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(94,41,461) = ( 94 × 41 × 461 ) / 1
LCM(94,41,461) = 1776694 / 1
LCM(94,41,461) = 1776694
