Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9/24,141/49,299/15
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 9,141,299
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 9,141,299 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 24,49,15 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 24,49,15 is 5880 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 9,141,299
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 9

1,3,9
Factors of 141
List of positive integer factors of 141 that divides 141 without a remainder.
1,3,47,141
Factors of 299
List of positive integer factors of 299 that divides 299 without a remainder.
1,13,23,299
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,141,299 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,141,299 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 24,49,15
3 | 24, 49, 15 |
8, 49, 5 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 8 x 49 x 5 = 5880
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5880
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/24,141/49,299/15 is 1/5880
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 24,49,15 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(24,49,15) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 3
GCF(24,49,15) x common factors =1 x 3 = 3
LCM(24,49,15) = ( 24 × 49 × 15 ) / 3
LCM(24,49,15) = 17640 / 3
LCM(24,49,15) = 5880
