Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 28/21,185/41,550/53
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 28,185,550
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 28,185,550 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,41,53 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,41,53 is 45633 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 28,185,550
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 28,185,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 28,185,550 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,41,53
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45633
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/45633
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 28/21,185/41,550/53 is 1/45633
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 21,41,53 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,41,53) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(21,41,53) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(21,41,53) = ( 21 × 41 × 53 ) / 1
LCM(21,41,53) = 45633 / 1
LCM(21,41,53) = 45633
