Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 39/43,18/47,522/84
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 39,18,522
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 39,18,522 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,47,84 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,47,84 is 169764 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 39,18,522
3 | 39, 18, 522 |
13, 6, 174 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 522
List of positive integer factors of 522 that divides 522 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18,29,58,87,174,261,522
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 39,18,522 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 39,18,522 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,47,84
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 169764
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/169764
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 39/43,18/47,522/84 is 3/169764
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 43,47,84 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,47,84) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,47,84) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,47,84) = ( 43 × 47 × 84 ) / 1
LCM(43,47,84) = 169764 / 1
LCM(43,47,84) = 169764
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
