Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 37/71,84/29,283/42
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 37,84,283
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 37,84,283 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,29,42 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,29,42 is 86478 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 37,84,283
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
Factors of 283
List of positive integer factors of 283 that divides 283 without a remainder.
1,283
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 37,84,283 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 37,84,283 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,29,42
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86478
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86478
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 37/71,84/29,283/42 is 1/86478
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 71,29,42 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,29,42) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,29,42) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,29,42) = ( 71 × 29 × 42 ) / 1
LCM(71,29,42) = 86478 / 1
LCM(71,29,42) = 86478
