Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/21,93/13,40/84,66/99
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 4,93,40,66
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 4,93,40,66 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,13,84,99 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,13,84,99 is 36036 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4,93,40,66
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 66
List of positive integer factors of 66 that divides 66 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,93,40,66 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,93,40,66 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,13,84,99
3 | 21, 13, 84, 99 |
7 | 7, 13, 28, 33 |
1, 13, 4, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 1 x 13 x 4 x 33 = 36036
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/36036
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/21,93/13,40/84,66/99 is 1/36036
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 21,13,84,99 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,13,84,99) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 63
GCF(21,13,84,99) x common factors =1 x 63 = 63
LCM(21,13,84,99) = ( 21 × 13 × 84 × 99 ) / 63
LCM(21,13,84,99) = 2270268 / 63
LCM(21,13,84,99) = 36036
