Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 97/36,64/47,71/85
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 97,64,71
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 97,64,71 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,47,85 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,47,85 is 143820 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 97,64,71
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8,16,32,64
Factors of 71
List of positive integer factors of 71 that divides 71 without a remainder.
1,71
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,64,71 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,64,71 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,47,85
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 143820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/143820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/36,64/47,71/85 is 1/143820
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 36,47,85 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,47,85) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,47,85) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(36,47,85) = ( 36 × 47 × 85 ) / 1
LCM(36,47,85) = 143820 / 1
LCM(36,47,85) = 143820
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
