Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 85/31,10/67,74/23,16/41
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 85,10,74,16
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 85,10,74,16 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 31,67,23,41 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 31,67,23,41 is 1958611 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 85,10,74,16
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 85 that divides 85 without a remainder.
1,5,17,85
Factors of 10
List of positive integer factors of 10 that divides 10 without a remainder.
1,2,5,10
Factors of 74
List of positive integer factors of 74 that divides 74 without a remainder.
1,2,37,74
Factors of 16
List of positive integer factors of 16 that divides 16 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,16
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 85,10,74,16 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 85,10,74,16 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 31,67,23,41
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1958611
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1958611
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 85/31,10/67,74/23,16/41 is 1/1958611
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 31,67,23,41 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(31,67,23,41) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(31,67,23,41) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(31,67,23,41) = ( 31 × 67 × 23 × 41 ) / 1
LCM(31,67,23,41) = 1958611 / 1
LCM(31,67,23,41) = 1958611
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
