Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/29,29/31,429/736
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 18,29,429
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,29,429 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 29,31,736 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 29,31,736 is 661664 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,29,429
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 29

1,29
Factors of 429
List of positive integer factors of 429 that divides 429 without a remainder.
1,3,11,13,33,39,143,429
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,29,429 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,29,429 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,31,736
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 661664
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/661664
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/29,29/31,429/736 is 1/661664
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 29,31,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,31,736) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,31,736) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,31,736) = ( 29 × 31 × 736 ) / 1
LCM(29,31,736) = 661664 / 1
LCM(29,31,736) = 661664
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
