Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 43/54,20/702,400/234
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 43,20,400
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 43,20,400 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 54,702,234 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 54,702,234 is 702 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 43,20,400
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20,25,40,50,80,100,200,400
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 43,20,400 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 43,20,400 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,702,234
2 | 54, 702, 234 |
3 | 27, 351, 117 |
3 | 9, 39, 117 |
3 | 3, 13, 39 |
13 | 1, 13, 13 |
1, 1, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 13 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 702
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/702
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 43/54,20/702,400/234 is 1/702
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 54,702,234 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,702,234) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 702
GCF(54,702,234) x common factors =18 x 702 = 12636
LCM(54,702,234) = ( 54 × 702 × 234 ) / 12636
LCM(54,702,234) = 8870472 / 12636
LCM(54,702,234) = 702
