Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 47/98,66/98,183/21
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 47,66,183
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 47,66,183 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 98,98,21 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 98,98,21 is 294 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 47,66,183
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66
Factors of 183
List of positive integer factors of 183 that divides 183 without a remainder.
1,3,61,183
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 47,66,183 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 47,66,183 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 98,98,21
2 | 98, 98, 21 |
7 | 49, 49, 21 |
7 | 7, 7, 3 |
1, 1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 7 x 7 x 1 x 1 x 3 = 294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 47/98,66/98,183/21 is 1/294
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 98,98,21 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(98,98,21) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 98
GCF(98,98,21) x common factors =7 x 98 = 686
LCM(98,98,21) = ( 98 × 98 × 21 ) / 686
LCM(98,98,21) = 201684 / 686
LCM(98,98,21) = 294
