Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/42,61/64,247/149
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 17,61,247
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,61,247 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 42,64,149 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 42,64,149 is 200256 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,61,247
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17

1,61
Factors of 247
List of positive integer factors of 247 that divides 247 without a remainder.
1,13,19,247
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,61,247 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,61,247 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 42,64,149
2 | 42, 64, 149 |
21, 32, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 21 x 32 x 149 = 200256
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/200256
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/42,61/64,247/149 is 1/200256
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 42,64,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(42,64,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(42,64,149) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(42,64,149) = ( 42 × 64 × 149 ) / 2
LCM(42,64,149) = 400512 / 2
LCM(42,64,149) = 200256
