Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 71/55,40/17,60/347
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 71,40,60
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 71,40,60 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 55,17,347 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 55,17,347 is 324445 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 71,40,60
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 71,40,60 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 71,40,60 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 55,17,347
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 324445
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/324445
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 71/55,40/17,60/347 is 1/324445
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 55,17,347 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(55,17,347) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(55,17,347) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(55,17,347) = ( 55 × 17 × 347 ) / 1
LCM(55,17,347) = 324445 / 1
LCM(55,17,347) = 324445
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
