Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 48/50,40/83,360/229
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 48,40,360
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 48,40,360 is 8 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,83,229 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,83,229 is 950350 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 48,40,360
2 | 48, 40, 360 |
2 | 24, 20, 180 |
2 | 12, 10, 90 |
6, 5, 45 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,72,90,120,180,360
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 48,40,360 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 48,40,360 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,83,229
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 950350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/950350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/50,40/83,360/229 is 8/950350
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 50,83,229 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,83,229) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,83,229) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,83,229) = ( 50 × 83 × 229 ) / 1
LCM(50,83,229) = 950350 / 1
LCM(50,83,229) = 950350
