Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 36/47,90/54,336/58
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 36,90,336
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 36,90,336 is 6 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,54,58 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,54,58 is 73602 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 36,90,336
2 | 36, 90, 336 |
3 | 18, 45, 168 |
6, 15, 56 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 3 = 6

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 36,90,336 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 36,90,336 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,54,58
2 | 47, 54, 58 |
47, 27, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 47 x 27 x 29 = 73602
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/73602
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 36/47,90/54,336/58 is 6/73602
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 47,54,58 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,54,58) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(47,54,58) x common factors =1 x 2 = 2
LCM(47,54,58) = ( 47 × 54 × 58 ) / 2
LCM(47,54,58) = 147204 / 2
LCM(47,54,58) = 73602
