Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 31/20,11/80,715/96
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 31,11,715
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 31,11,715 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,80,96 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,80,96 is 480 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 31,11,715
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 31

1,31
Factors of 11
List of positive integer factors of 11 that divides 11 without a remainder.
1,11
Factors of 715
List of positive integer factors of 715 that divides 715 without a remainder.
1,5,11,13,55,65,143,715
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 31,11,715 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 31,11,715 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,80,96
2 | 20, 80, 96 |
2 | 10, 40, 48 |
2 | 5, 20, 24 |
2 | 5, 10, 12 |
5 | 5, 5, 6 |
1, 1, 6 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 1 x 6 = 480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 31/20,11/80,715/96 is 1/480
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 20,80,96 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,80,96) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 80
GCF(20,80,96) x common factors =4 x 80 = 320
LCM(20,80,96) = ( 20 × 80 × 96 ) / 320
LCM(20,80,96) = 153600 / 320
LCM(20,80,96) = 480
