Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 85/15,59/63,127/105
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 85,59,127
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 85,59,127 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 15,63,105 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 15,63,105 is 315 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 85,59,127
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 85
List of positive integer factors of 85 that divides 85 without a remainder.
1,5,17,85
Factors of 59

1,59
Factors of 127
List of positive integer factors of 127 that divides 127 without a remainder.
1,127
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,59,127 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,59,127 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 15,63,105
3 | 15, 63, 105 |
5 | 5, 21, 35 |
7 | 1, 21, 7 |
1, 3, 1 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 7 x 1 x 3 x 1 = 315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/15,59/63,127/105 is 1/315
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 15,63,105 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(15,63,105) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 105
GCF(15,63,105) x common factors =3 x 105 = 315
LCM(15,63,105) = ( 15 × 63 × 105 ) / 315
LCM(15,63,105) = 99225 / 315
LCM(15,63,105) = 315
