Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 25/96,150/97,250/373
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 25,150,250
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 25,150,250 is 25 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,97,373 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,97,373 is 3473376 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 25,150,250
5 | 25, 150, 250 |
5 | 5, 30, 50 |
1, 6, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 5 x 5 = 25

1,2,5,10,25,50,125,250
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 25,150,250 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 25,150,250 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,97,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3473376
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/3473376
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/96,150/97,250/373 is 25/3473376
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 96,97,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,97,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(96,97,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(96,97,373) = ( 96 × 97 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(96,97,373) = 3473376 / 1
LCM(96,97,373) = 3473376
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
