Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 17/98,59/87,164/118
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 17,59,164
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 17,59,164 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,87,118 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,87,118 is 503034 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 17,59,164
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 17

1,2,4,41,82,164
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 17,59,164 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 17,59,164 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,87,118
2 | 98, 87, 118 |
49, 87, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 49 x 87 x 59 = 503034
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/503034
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 17/98,59/87,164/118 is 1/503034
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 98,87,118 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,87,118) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(98,87,118) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(98,87,118) = ( 98 × 87 × 118 ) / 2
LCM(98,87,118) = 1006068 / 2
LCM(98,87,118) = 503034
