Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 42/23,10/89,860/191
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 42,10,860
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 42,10,860 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 23,89,191 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 23,89,191 is 390977 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 42,10,860
2 | 42, 10, 860 |
21, 5, 430 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

1,2,4,5,10,20,43,86,172,215,430,860
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 42,10,860 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 42,10,860 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,89,191
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 390977
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/390977
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/23,10/89,860/191 is 2/390977
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 23,89,191 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,89,191) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,89,191) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,89,191) = ( 23 × 89 × 191 ) / 1
LCM(23,89,191) = 390977 / 1
LCM(23,89,191) = 390977
