Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 22/97,44/25,492/36
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 22,44,492
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 22,44,492 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 97,25,36 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 97,25,36 is 87300 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 22,44,492
2 | 22, 44, 492 |
11, 22, 246 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,3,4,6,12,41,82,123,164,246,492
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 22,44,492 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 22,44,492 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,25,36
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/87300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 22/97,44/25,492/36 is 2/87300
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 97,25,36 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,25,36) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,25,36) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,25,36) = ( 97 × 25 × 36 ) / 1
LCM(97,25,36) = 87300 / 1
LCM(97,25,36) = 87300
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
