Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 69/21,42/81,31/26,32/87
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 69,42,31,32
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 69,42,31,32 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 21,81,26,87 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 21,81,26,87 is 427518 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 69,42,31,32
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
Factors of 31
List of positive integer factors of 31 that divides 31 without a remainder.
1,31
Factors of 32
List of positive integer factors of 32 that divides 32 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16,32
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 69,42,31,32 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 69,42,31,32 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,81,26,87
3 | 21, 81, 26, 87 |
7, 27, 26, 29 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 7 x 27 x 26 x 29 = 427518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/427518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 69/21,42/81,31/26,32/87 is 1/427518
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 21,81,26,87 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,81,26,87) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 9
GCF(21,81,26,87) x common factors =1 x 9 = 9
LCM(21,81,26,87) = ( 21 × 81 × 26 × 87 ) / 9
LCM(21,81,26,87) = 3847662 / 9
LCM(21,81,26,87) = 427518
