Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 871/27,709/29,401/37
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 871,709,401
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 871,709,401 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 27,29,37 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 27,29,37 is 28971 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 871,709,401
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 871
List of positive integer factors of 871 that divides 871 without a remainder.

1,709
Factors of 401
List of positive integer factors of 401 that divides 401 without a remainder.
1,401
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 871,709,401 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 871,709,401 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 27,29,37
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28971
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28971
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 871/27,709/29,401/37 is 1/28971
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 27,29,37 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(27,29,37) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(27,29,37) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(27,29,37) = ( 27 × 29 × 37 ) / 1
LCM(27,29,37) = 28971 / 1
LCM(27,29,37) = 28971
