Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 87/47,47/24,398/103
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 87,47,398
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 87,47,398 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 47,24,103 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 47,24,103 is 116184 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 87,47,398
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,47
Factors of 398
List of positive integer factors of 398 that divides 398 without a remainder.
1,2,199,398
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 87,47,398 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 87,47,398 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 47,24,103
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/116184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 87/47,47/24,398/103 is 1/116184
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 47,24,103 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,24,103) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,24,103) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,24,103) = ( 47 × 24 × 103 ) / 1
LCM(47,24,103) = 116184 / 1
LCM(47,24,103) = 116184
