Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 51/77,36/93,12/33,54/86
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 51,36,12,54
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 51,36,12,54 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 77,93,33,86 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 77,93,33,86 is 615846 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 51,36,12,54
3 | 51, 36, 12, 54 |
17, 12, 4, 18 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 51,36,12,54 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,36,12,54 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 77,93,33,86
3 | 77, 93, 33, 86 |
11 | 77, 31, 11, 86 |
7, 31, 1, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 7 x 31 x 1 x 86 = 615846
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/615846
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/77,36/93,12/33,54/86 is 3/615846
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 77,93,33,86 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,93,33,86) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 33
GCF(77,93,33,86) x common factors =1 x 33 = 33
LCM(77,93,33,86) = ( 77 × 93 × 33 × 86 ) / 33
LCM(77,93,33,86) = 20322918 / 33
LCM(77,93,33,86) = 615846
