Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 78/16,14/85,669/221
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 78,14,669
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 78,14,669 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,85,221 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,85,221 is 17680 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 78,14,669
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 78

1,2,7,14
Factors of 669
List of positive integer factors of 669 that divides 669 without a remainder.
1,3,223,669
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 78,14,669 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 78,14,669 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,85,221
17 | 16, 85, 221 |
16, 5, 13 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 16 x 5 x 13 = 17680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/17680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 78/16,14/85,669/221 is 1/17680
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 16,85,221 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,85,221) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 17
GCF(16,85,221) x common factors =1 x 17 = 17
LCM(16,85,221) = ( 16 × 85 × 221 ) / 17
LCM(16,85,221) = 300560 / 17
LCM(16,85,221) = 17680
