Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 59/79,72/24,257/73
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 59,72,257
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 59,72,257 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 79,24,73 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 79,24,73 is 138408 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 59,72,257
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 257
List of positive integer factors of 257 that divides 257 without a remainder.
1,257
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 59,72,257 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 59,72,257 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,24,73
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/138408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 59/79,72/24,257/73 is 1/138408
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 79,24,73 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,24,73) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,24,73) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,24,73) = ( 79 × 24 × 73 ) / 1
LCM(79,24,73) = 138408 / 1
LCM(79,24,73) = 138408
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
