Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 53/43,23/40,323/87
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 53,23,323
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 53,23,323 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,40,87 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,40,87 is 149640 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 53,23,323
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 53 that divides 53 without a remainder.
1,53
Factors of 23
List of positive integer factors of 23 that divides 23 without a remainder.
1,23
Factors of 323
List of positive integer factors of 323 that divides 323 without a remainder.
1,17,19,323
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 53,23,323 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 53,23,323 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,40,87
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/149640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 53/43,23/40,323/87 is 1/149640
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 43,40,87 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,40,87) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,40,87) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,40,87) = ( 43 × 40 × 87 ) / 1
LCM(43,40,87) = 149640 / 1
LCM(43,40,87) = 149640
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
