Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 18/77,195/16,369/17
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 18,195,369
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 18,195,369 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,16,17 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,16,17 is 20944 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 18,195,369
3 | 18, 195, 369 |
6, 65, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,3,5,13,15,39,65,195
Factors of 369
List of positive integer factors of 369 that divides 369 without a remainder.
1,3,9,41,123,369
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 18,195,369 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 18,195,369 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,16,17
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 20944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/20944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 18/77,195/16,369/17 is 3/20944
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 77,16,17 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,16,17) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,16,17) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,16,17) = ( 77 × 16 × 17 ) / 1
LCM(77,16,17) = 20944 / 1
LCM(77,16,17) = 20944
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
