Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/75,71/55,959/440
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 40,71,959
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,71,959 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 75,55,440 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 75,55,440 is 6600 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,71,959
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 40

1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Factors of 959
List of positive integer factors of 959 that divides 959 without a remainder.
1,7,137,959
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,71,959 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,71,959 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 75,55,440
5 | 75, 55, 440 |
11 | 15, 11, 88 |
15, 1, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 11 x 15 x 1 x 8 = 6600
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6600
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/75,71/55,959/440 is 1/6600
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 75,55,440 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(75,55,440) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 55
GCF(75,55,440) x common factors =5 x 55 = 275
LCM(75,55,440) = ( 75 × 55 × 440 ) / 275
LCM(75,55,440) = 1815000 / 275
LCM(75,55,440) = 6600
