Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 91/12,99/40,24/56,27/55
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 91,99,24,27
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 91,99,24,27 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 12,40,56,55 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 12,40,56,55 is 9240 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 91,99,24,27
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,9,11,33,99
Factors of 24
List of positive integer factors of 24 that divides 24 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
Factors of 27
List of positive integer factors of 27 that divides 27 without a remainder.
1,3,9,27
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 91,99,24,27 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 91,99,24,27 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 12,40,56,55
2 | 12, 40, 56, 55 |
2 | 6, 20, 28, 55 |
2 | 3, 10, 14, 55 |
5 | 3, 5, 7, 55 |
3, 1, 7, 11 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 x 1 x 7 x 11 = 9240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 91/12,99/40,24/56,27/55 is 1/9240
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 12,40,56,55 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(12,40,56,55) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 160
GCF(12,40,56,55) x common factors =1 x 160 = 160
LCM(12,40,56,55) = ( 12 × 40 × 56 × 55 ) / 160
LCM(12,40,56,55) = 1478400 / 160
LCM(12,40,56,55) = 9240
