Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 8/60,285/54,665/72
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 8,285,665
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 8,285,665 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 60,54,72 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 60,54,72 is 1080 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 8,285,665
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8
Factors of 285
List of positive integer factors of 285 that divides 285 without a remainder.
1,3,5,15,19,57,95,285
Factors of 665
List of positive integer factors of 665 that divides 665 without a remainder.
1,5,7,19,35,95,133,665
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8,285,665 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8,285,665 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 60,54,72
2 | 60, 54, 72 |
2 | 30, 27, 36 |
3 | 15, 27, 18 |
3 | 5, 9, 6 |
5, 3, 2 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 3 x 2 = 1080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8/60,285/54,665/72 is 1/1080
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 60,54,72 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(60,54,72) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(60,54,72) x common factors =6 x 36 = 216
LCM(60,54,72) = ( 60 × 54 × 72 ) / 216
LCM(60,54,72) = 233280 / 216
LCM(60,54,72) = 1080
