Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 70/66,20/96,401/88
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 70,20,401
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 70,20,401 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 66,96,88 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 66,96,88 is 1056 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 70,20,401
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 70,20,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 70,20,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 66,96,88
2 | 66, 96, 88 |
2 | 33, 48, 44 |
2 | 33, 24, 22 |
3 | 33, 12, 11 |
11 | 11, 4, 11 |
1, 4, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 1 x 4 x 1 = 1056
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1056
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 70/66,20/96,401/88 is 1/1056
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 66,96,88 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(66,96,88) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 264
GCF(66,96,88) x common factors =2 x 264 = 528
LCM(66,96,88) = ( 66 × 96 × 88 ) / 528
LCM(66,96,88) = 557568 / 528
LCM(66,96,88) = 1056
