Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6/64,19/14,59/120,359/231
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 6,19,59,359
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6,19,59,359 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 64,14,120,231 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 64,14,120,231 is 73920 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6,19,59,359
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,19,59,359 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,19,59,359 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 64,14,120,231
2 | 64, 14, 120, 231 |
2 | 32, 7, 60, 231 |
2 | 16, 7, 30, 231 |
3 | 8, 7, 15, 231 |
7 | 8, 7, 5, 77 |
8, 1, 5, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 8 x 1 x 5 x 11 = 73920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/73920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/64,19/14,59/120,359/231 is 1/73920
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 64,14,120,231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(64,14,120,231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 336
GCF(64,14,120,231) x common factors =1 x 336 = 336
LCM(64,14,120,231) = ( 64 × 14 × 120 × 231 ) / 336
LCM(64,14,120,231) = 24837120 / 336
LCM(64,14,120,231) = 73920
