Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5/13,429/43,218/16
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 5,429,218
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5,429,218 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 13,43,16 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 13,43,16 is 8944 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5,429,218
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 5

1,5
Factors of 429
List of positive integer factors of 429 that divides 429 without a remainder.
1,3,11,13,33,39,143,429
Factors of 218
List of positive integer factors of 218 that divides 218 without a remainder.
1,2,109,218
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,429,218 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,429,218 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 13,43,16
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8944
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8944
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/13,429/43,218/16 is 1/8944
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 13,43,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,43,16) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,43,16) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,43,16) = ( 13 × 43 × 16 ) / 1
LCM(13,43,16) = 8944 / 1
LCM(13,43,16) = 8944
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
