Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 36/18,24/23,120/924
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 36,24,120
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 36,24,120 is 12 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 18,23,924 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 18,23,924 is 63756 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 36,24,120
2 | 36, 24, 120 |
2 | 18, 12, 60 |
3 | 9, 6, 30 |
3, 2, 10 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,24,120 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,24,120 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 18,23,924
2 | 18, 23, 924 |
3 | 9, 23, 462 |
3, 23, 154 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 23 x 154 = 63756
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/63756
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/18,24/23,120/924 is 12/63756
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 18,23,924 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(18,23,924) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 6
GCF(18,23,924) x common factors =1 x 6 = 6
LCM(18,23,924) = ( 18 × 23 × 924 ) / 6
LCM(18,23,924) = 382536 / 6
LCM(18,23,924) = 63756
