Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 23/79,72/23,206/26
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 23,72,206
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 23,72,206 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,23,26 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,23,26 is 47242 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 23,72,206
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 23

1,23
Factors of 72
List of positive integer factors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 206
List of positive integer factors of 206 that divides 206 without a remainder.
1,2,103,206
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 23,72,206 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 23,72,206 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,23,26
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 23/79,72/23,206/26 is 1/47242
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 79,23,26 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,23,26) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,23,26) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,23,26) = ( 79 × 23 × 26 ) / 1
LCM(79,23,26) = 47242 / 1
LCM(79,23,26) = 47242
