Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6/20,645/50,873/56
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 6,645,873
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6,645,873 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,50,56 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,50,56 is 1400 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6,645,873
3 | 6, 645, 873 |
2, 215, 291 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3
Factors of 6

1,2,3,6
Factors of 645
List of positive integer factors of 645 that divides 645 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,43,129,215,645
Factors of 873
List of positive integer factors of 873 that divides 873 without a remainder.
1,3,9,97,291,873
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,645,873 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,645,873 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,50,56
2 | 20, 50, 56 |
2 | 10, 25, 28 |
5 | 5, 25, 14 |
1, 5, 14 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 5 x 14 = 1400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/20,645/50,873/56 is 3/1400
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 20,50,56 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,50,56) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(20,50,56) x common factors =2 x 20 = 40
LCM(20,50,56) = ( 20 × 50 × 56 ) / 40
LCM(20,50,56) = 56000 / 40
LCM(20,50,56) = 1400
