Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 200/397,200/143,200/496
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 200,200,200
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 200,200,200 is 200 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 397,143,496 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 397,143,496 is 28158416 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 200,200,200
2 | 200, 200, 200 |
2 | 100, 100, 100 |
2 | 50, 50, 50 |
5 | 25, 25, 25 |
5 | 5, 5, 5 |
1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 200

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 200,200,200 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 200,200,200 is 200.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,143,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28158416
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 200/28158416
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 200/397,200/143,200/496 is 200/28158416
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 397,143,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,143,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,143,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,143,496) = ( 397 × 143 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(397,143,496) = 28158416 / 1
LCM(397,143,496) = 28158416
