Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 93/16,89/36,37/27
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 93,89,37
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 93,89,37 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 16,36,27 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 16,36,27 is 432 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 93,89,37
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Factors of 93
List of positive integer factors of 93 that divides 93 without a remainder.
1,3,31,93

1,89
Factors of 37
List of positive integer factors of 37 that divides 37 without a remainder.
1,37
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 93,89,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 93,89,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,36,27
2 | 16, 36, 27 |
2 | 8, 18, 27 |
3 | 4, 9, 27 |
3 | 4, 3, 9 |
4, 1, 3 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 1 x 3 = 432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 93/16,89/36,37/27 is 1/432
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 16,36,27 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,36,27) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(16,36,27) x common factors =1 x 36 = 36
LCM(16,36,27) = ( 16 × 36 × 27 ) / 36
LCM(16,36,27) = 15552 / 36
LCM(16,36,27) = 432
