Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 3/37,685/86,217/41
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 3,685,217
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 3,685,217 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,86,41 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,86,41 is 130462 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 3,685,217
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 3

1,3
Factors of 685
List of positive integer factors of 685 that divides 685 without a remainder.
1,5,137,685
Factors of 217
List of positive integer factors of 217 that divides 217 without a remainder.
1,7,31,217
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3,685,217 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3,685,217 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,86,41
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/130462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3/37,685/86,217/41 is 1/130462
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 37,86,41 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,86,41) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,86,41) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,86,41) = ( 37 × 86 × 41 ) / 1
LCM(37,86,41) = 130462 / 1
LCM(37,86,41) = 130462
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
