Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 38/88,11/45,198/81
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 38,11,198
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 38,11,198 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 88,45,81 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 88,45,81 is 35640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 38,11,198
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,11
Factors of 198
List of positive integer factors of 198 that divides 198 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,11,18,22,33,66,99,198
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 38,11,198 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 38,11,198 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 88,45,81
3 | 88, 45, 81 |
3 | 88, 15, 27 |
88, 5, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 88 x 5 x 9 = 35640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/35640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/88,11/45,198/81 is 1/35640
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 88,45,81 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(88,45,81) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(88,45,81) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(88,45,81) = ( 88 × 45 × 81 ) / 9
LCM(88,45,81) = 320760 / 9
LCM(88,45,81) = 35640
