Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 33/23,36/89,45/88
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 33,36,45
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 33,36,45 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,89,88 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,89,88 is 180136 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 33,36,45
3 | 33, 36, 45 |
11, 12, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,4,6,9,12,18,36
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 33,36,45 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 33,36,45 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,89,88
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 180136
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/180136
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 33/23,36/89,45/88 is 3/180136
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 23,89,88 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,89,88) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,89,88) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,89,88) = ( 23 × 89 × 88 ) / 1
LCM(23,89,88) = 180136 / 1
LCM(23,89,88) = 180136
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
