Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 40/82,71/33,938/721
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 40,71,938
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 40,71,938 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 82,33,721 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 82,33,721 is 1951026 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 40,71,938
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 40
List of positive integer factors of 40 that divides 40 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,8,10,20,40

1,71
Factors of 938
List of positive integer factors of 938 that divides 938 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,67,134,469,938
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,71,938 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,71,938 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 82,33,721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1951026
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1951026
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/82,71/33,938/721 is 1/1951026
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 82,33,721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(82,33,721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(82,33,721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(82,33,721) = ( 82 × 33 × 721 ) / 1
LCM(82,33,721) = 1951026 / 1
LCM(82,33,721) = 1951026
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
