Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5/71,534/31,536/98
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 5,534,536
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5,534,536 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 71,31,98 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 71,31,98 is 215698 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5,534,536
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,89,178,267,534
Factors of 536
List of positive integer factors of 536 that divides 536 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,67,134,268,536
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5,534,536 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5,534,536 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 71,31,98
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 215698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/215698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5/71,534/31,536/98 is 1/215698
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 71,31,98 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(71,31,98) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(71,31,98) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(71,31,98) = ( 71 × 31 × 98 ) / 1
LCM(71,31,98) = 215698 / 1
LCM(71,31,98) = 215698
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
