Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 45/25,51/56,369/98
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 45,51,369
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 45,51,369 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 25,56,98 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 25,56,98 is 9800 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 45,51,369
3 | 45, 51, 369 |
15, 17, 123 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 45
List of positive integer factors of 45 that divides 45 without a remainder.
1,3,5,9,15,45
Factors of 51

1,3,17,51
Factors of 369
List of positive integer factors of 369 that divides 369 without a remainder.
1,3,9,41,123,369
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 45,51,369 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 45,51,369 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,56,98
2 | 25, 56, 98 |
7 | 25, 28, 49 |
25, 4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 25 x 4 x 7 = 9800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 45/25,51/56,369/98 is 3/9800
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 25,56,98 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,56,98) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 14
GCF(25,56,98) x common factors =1 x 14 = 14
LCM(25,56,98) = ( 25 × 56 × 98 ) / 14
LCM(25,56,98) = 137200 / 14
LCM(25,56,98) = 9800
