Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 471/13,761/74,179/291
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 471,761,179
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 471,761,179 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,74,291 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,74,291 is 279942 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 471,761,179
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 179
List of positive integer factors of 179 that divides 179 without a remainder.
1,179
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 471,761,179 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 471,761,179 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,74,291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 471/13,761/74,179/291 is 1/279942
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 13,74,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,74,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,74,291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,74,291) = ( 13 × 74 × 291 ) / 1
LCM(13,74,291) = 279942 / 1
LCM(13,74,291) = 279942
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
