Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 79/20,85/954,685/980
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 79,85,685
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 79,85,685 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 20,954,980 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 20,954,980 is 467460 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 79,85,685
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 79
List of positive integer factors of 79 that divides 79 without a remainder.
1,79
Factors of 85
List of positive integer factors of 85 that divides 85 without a remainder.
1,5,17,85
Factors of 685
List of positive integer factors of 685 that divides 685 without a remainder.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 79,85,685 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,85,685 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 20,954,980
2 | 20, 954, 980 |
2 | 10, 477, 490 |
5 | 5, 477, 245 |
1, 477, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 477 x 49 = 467460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/467460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/20,85/954,685/980 is 1/467460
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 20,954,980 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(20,954,980) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 20
GCF(20,954,980) x common factors =2 x 20 = 40
LCM(20,954,980) = ( 20 × 954 × 980 ) / 40
LCM(20,954,980) = 18698400 / 40
LCM(20,954,980) = 467460
