Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/61,57/31,405/21
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 18,57,405
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,57,405 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 61,31,21 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 61,31,21 is 39711 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,57,405
3 | 18, 57, 405 |
6, 19, 135 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 18

1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 57
List of positive integer factors of 57 that divides 57 without a remainder.
1,3,19,57
Factors of 405
List of positive integer factors of 405 that divides 405 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,27,45,81,135,405
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,57,405 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,57,405 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 61,31,21
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39711
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/39711
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/61,57/31,405/21 is 3/39711
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 61,31,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(61,31,21) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(61,31,21) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(61,31,21) = ( 61 × 31 × 21 ) / 1
LCM(61,31,21) = 39711 / 1
LCM(61,31,21) = 39711
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
