Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 55/74,94/68,382/88
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 55,94,382
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 55,94,382 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 74,68,88 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 74,68,88 is 55352 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 55,94,382
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 55
List of positive integer factors of 55 that divides 55 without a remainder.
1,5,11,55
Factors of 94

1,2,47,94
Factors of 382
List of positive integer factors of 382 that divides 382 without a remainder.
1,2,191,382
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 55,94,382 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 55,94,382 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,68,88
2 | 74, 68, 88 |
2 | 37, 34, 44 |
37, 17, 22 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 37 x 17 x 22 = 55352
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/55352
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/74,94/68,382/88 is 1/55352
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 74,68,88 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,68,88) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(74,68,88) x common factors =2 x 4 = 8
LCM(74,68,88) = ( 74 × 68 × 88 ) / 8
LCM(74,68,88) = 442816 / 8
LCM(74,68,88) = 55352
