Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/46,76/11,71/15,46/17
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 52,76,71,46
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,76,71,46 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 46,11,15,17 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 46,11,15,17 is 129030 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,76,71,46
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,71
Factors of 46
List of positive integer factors of 46 that divides 46 without a remainder.
1,2,23,46
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,76,71,46 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,76,71,46 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 46,11,15,17
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129030
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/129030
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/46,76/11,71/15,46/17 is 1/129030
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 46,11,15,17 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(46,11,15,17) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(46,11,15,17) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(46,11,15,17) = ( 46 × 11 × 15 × 17 ) / 1
LCM(46,11,15,17) = 129030 / 1
LCM(46,11,15,17) = 129030
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
