Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 34/24,14/48,32/24,21/15
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 34,14,32,21
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 34,14,32,21 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,48,24,15 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,48,24,15 is 240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 34,14,32,21
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,7,14
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Factors of 21
List of positive integer factors of 21 that divides 21 without a remainder.
1,3,7,21
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 34,14,32,21 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 34,14,32,21 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,48,24,15
2 | 24, 48, 24, 15 |
2 | 12, 24, 12, 15 |
2 | 6, 6, 12, 15 |
3 | 3, 3, 6, 15 |
1, 1, 2, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 5 = 240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 34/24,14/48,32/24,21/15 is 1/240
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 24,48,24,15 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,48,24,15) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 576
GCF(24,48,24,15) x common factors =3 x 576 = 1728
LCM(24,48,24,15) = ( 24 × 48 × 24 × 15 ) / 1728
LCM(24,48,24,15) = 414720 / 1728
LCM(24,48,24,15) = 240
