Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/50,291/67,726/11
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 51,291,726
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,291,726 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 50,67,11 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 50,67,11 is 36850 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,291,726
3 | 51, 291, 726 |
17, 97, 242 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

1,2,3,6,11,22,33,66,121,242,363,726
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,291,726 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,291,726 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 50,67,11
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/36850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/50,291/67,726/11 is 3/36850
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 50,67,11 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(50,67,11) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(50,67,11) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(50,67,11) = ( 50 × 67 × 11 ) / 1
LCM(50,67,11) = 36850 / 1
LCM(50,67,11) = 36850
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
