Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/43,19/73,214/695
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 72,19,214
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 72,19,214 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 43,73,695 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 43,73,695 is 2181605 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,19,214
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 72
List of positive integer factors of 72 that divides 72 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72
Factors of 19

1,19
Factors of 214
List of positive integer factors of 214 that divides 214 without a remainder.
1,2,107,214
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,19,214 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,19,214 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 43,73,695
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2181605
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2181605
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/43,19/73,214/695 is 1/2181605
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 43,73,695 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(43,73,695) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(43,73,695) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(43,73,695) = ( 43 × 73 × 695 ) / 1
LCM(43,73,695) = 2181605 / 1
LCM(43,73,695) = 2181605
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
