Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/19,12/76,77/16,18/14
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 51,12,77,18
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,12,77,18 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 19,76,16,14 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 19,76,16,14 is 2128 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,12,77,18
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,7,11,77
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,12,77,18 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,12,77,18 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,76,16,14
2 | 19, 76, 16, 14 |
2 | 19, 38, 8, 7 |
19 | 19, 19, 4, 7 |
1, 1, 4, 7 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 19 x 1 x 1 x 4 x 7 = 2128
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2128
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/19,12/76,77/16,18/14 is 1/2128
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 19,76,16,14 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,76,16,14) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 152
GCF(19,76,16,14) x common factors =1 x 152 = 152
LCM(19,76,16,14) = ( 19 × 76 × 16 × 14 ) / 152
LCM(19,76,16,14) = 323456 / 152
LCM(19,76,16,14) = 2128
