Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/58,54/77,882/359
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 18,54,882
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,54,882 is 18 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 58,77,359 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 58,77,359 is 1603294 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,54,882
2 | 18, 54, 882 |
3 | 9, 27, 441 |
3 | 3, 9, 147 |
1, 3, 49 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

1,2,3,6,7,9,14,18,21,42,49,63,98,126,147,294,441,882
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,54,882 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,54,882 is 18.
Lets's calculate LCM of 58,77,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1603294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 18/1603294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/58,54/77,882/359 is 18/1603294
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 58,77,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(58,77,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(58,77,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(58,77,359) = ( 58 × 77 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(58,77,359) = 1603294 / 1
LCM(58,77,359) = 1603294
