Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 6/91,290/45,550/16
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 6,290,550
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 6,290,550 is 2 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 91,45,16 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 91,45,16 is 65520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 6,290,550
2 | 6, 290, 550 |
3, 145, 275 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 = 2

List of positive integer factors of 290 that divides 290 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,29,58,145,290
Factors of 550
List of positive integer factors of 550 that divides 550 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10,11,22,25,50,55,110,275,550
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 6,290,550 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6,290,550 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 91,45,16
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/65520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6/91,290/45,550/16 is 2/65520
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 91,45,16 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(91,45,16) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(91,45,16) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(91,45,16) = ( 91 × 45 × 16 ) / 1
LCM(91,45,16) = 65520 / 1
LCM(91,45,16) = 65520
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
