Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/10,936/17,243/31
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 4,936,243
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4,936,243 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 10,17,31 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 10,17,31 is 5270 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4,936,243
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 936 that divides 936 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,13,18,24,26,36,39,52,72,78,104,117,156,234,312,468,936
Factors of 243
List of positive integer factors of 243 that divides 243 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27,81,243
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,936,243 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,936,243 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,17,31
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/10,936/17,243/31 is 1/5270
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 10,17,31 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,17,31) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,17,31) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,17,31) = ( 10 × 17 × 31 ) / 1
LCM(10,17,31) = 5270 / 1
LCM(10,17,31) = 5270
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
