Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 60/81,40/45,21/60,968/97
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 60,40,21,968
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 60,40,21,968 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 81,45,60,97 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 81,45,60,97 is 157140 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 60,40,21,968
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 968 that divides 968 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,11,22,44,88,121,242,484,968
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 60,40,21,968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 60,40,21,968 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 81,45,60,97
3 | 81, 45, 60, 97 |
3 | 27, 15, 20, 97 |
5 | 9, 5, 20, 97 |
9, 1, 4, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 5 x 9 x 1 x 4 x 97 = 157140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/157140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 60/81,40/45,21/60,968/97 is 1/157140
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 81,45,60,97 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(81,45,60,97) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 135
GCF(81,45,60,97) x common factors =1 x 135 = 135
LCM(81,45,60,97) = ( 81 × 45 × 60 × 97 ) / 135
LCM(81,45,60,97) = 21213900 / 135
LCM(81,45,60,97) = 157140
