Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/12,327/89,161/571
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 17,327,161
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,327,161 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,89,571 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,89,571 is 609828 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,327,161
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17

List of positive integer factors of 327 that divides 327 without a remainder.
1,3,109,327
Factors of 161
List of positive integer factors of 161 that divides 161 without a remainder.
1,7,23,161
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,327,161 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,327,161 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,89,571
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 609828
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/609828
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/12,327/89,161/571 is 1/609828
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 12,89,571 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,89,571) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(12,89,571) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(12,89,571) = ( 12 × 89 × 571 ) / 1
LCM(12,89,571) = 609828 / 1
LCM(12,89,571) = 609828
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
