Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/70,218/73,287/921
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 37,218,287
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,218,287 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 70,73,921 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 70,73,921 is 4706310 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,218,287
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 218 that divides 218 without a remainder.
1,2,109,218
Factors of 287
List of positive integer factors of 287 that divides 287 without a remainder.
1,7,41,287
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,218,287 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,218,287 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 70,73,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4706310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4706310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/70,218/73,287/921 is 1/4706310
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 70,73,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(70,73,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(70,73,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(70,73,921) = ( 70 × 73 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(70,73,921) = 4706310 / 1
LCM(70,73,921) = 4706310
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
