Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 49/12,71/82,437/970
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 49,71,437
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 49,71,437 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,82,970 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,82,970 is 238620 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 49,71,437
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 49
List of positive integer factors of 49 that divides 49 without a remainder.
1,7,49
Factors of 71

1,71
Factors of 437
List of positive integer factors of 437 that divides 437 without a remainder.
1,19,23,437
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 49,71,437 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 49,71,437 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,82,970
2 | 12, 82, 970 |
6, 41, 485 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 6 x 41 x 485 = 238620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/238620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 49/12,71/82,437/970 is 1/238620
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 12,82,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,82,970) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 2
GCF(12,82,970) x common factors =2 x 2 = 4
LCM(12,82,970) = ( 12 × 82 × 970 ) / 4
LCM(12,82,970) = 954480 / 4
LCM(12,82,970) = 238620
