Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 52/96,79/40,31/61,20/97
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 52,79,31,20
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 52,79,31,20 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 96,40,61,97 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 96,40,61,97 is 2840160 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 52,79,31,20
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,79
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Factors of 20
List of positive integer factors of 20 that divides 20 without a remainder.
1,2,4,5,10,20
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 52,79,31,20 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 52,79,31,20 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 96,40,61,97
2 | 96, 40, 61, 97 |
2 | 48, 20, 61, 97 |
2 | 24, 10, 61, 97 |
12, 5, 61, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 12 x 5 x 61 x 97 = 2840160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2840160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 52/96,79/40,31/61,20/97 is 1/2840160
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 96,40,61,97 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(96,40,61,97) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 8
GCF(96,40,61,97) x common factors =1 x 8 = 8
LCM(96,40,61,97) = ( 96 × 40 × 61 × 97 ) / 8
LCM(96,40,61,97) = 22721280 / 8
LCM(96,40,61,97) = 2840160
