Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 97/40,18/79,914/970
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 97,18,914
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 97,18,914 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 40,79,970 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 40,79,970 is 306520 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 97,18,914
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 97 that divides 97 without a remainder.
1,97
Factors of 18
List of positive integer factors of 18 that divides 18 without a remainder.
1,2,3,6,9,18
Factors of 914
List of positive integer factors of 914 that divides 914 without a remainder.
1,2,457,914
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 97,18,914 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 97,18,914 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,79,970
2 | 40, 79, 970 |
5 | 20, 79, 485 |
4, 79, 97 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 4 x 79 x 97 = 306520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/306520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 97/40,18/79,914/970 is 1/306520
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 40,79,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,79,970) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 10
GCF(40,79,970) x common factors =1 x 10 = 10
LCM(40,79,970) = ( 40 × 79 × 970 ) / 10
LCM(40,79,970) = 3065200 / 10
LCM(40,79,970) = 306520
