Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 72/99,55/10,89/429
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 72,55,89
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 72,55,89 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 99,10,429 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 99,10,429 is 12870 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 72,55,89
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 72

1,5,11,55
Factors of 89
List of positive integer factors of 89 that divides 89 without a remainder.
1,89
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 72,55,89 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 72,55,89 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 99,10,429
3 | 99, 10, 429 |
11 | 33, 10, 143 |
3, 10, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 11 x 3 x 10 x 13 = 12870
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/12870
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/99,55/10,89/429 is 1/12870
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 99,10,429 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,10,429) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 33
GCF(99,10,429) x common factors =1 x 33 = 33
LCM(99,10,429) = ( 99 × 10 × 429 ) / 33
LCM(99,10,429) = 424710 / 33
LCM(99,10,429) = 12870
