Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/19,1/77,8/17,35/972
To find the GCF of fractions, we have to find the GCF of numerator numbers and LCM of denominator numbers. Its formula is given by
GCF of Fraction = Greatest Common Factor of Numerator/Least Common Multiple of Denominators
In the fractions 4/19,1/77,8/17,35/972, numerators are 4,1,8,35
Denominators are 19,77,17,972
The GCF of 4,1,8,35 is 1 .
LCM of 19,77,17,972 is 24174612.
The greatest common factor of 4/19,1/77,8/17,35/972 = [GCF of 4,1,8,35]/[LCM of 19,77,17,972]= 1/24174612
Therefore, the GCF of 4/19,1/77,8/17,35/972 is 1/24174612.

The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4
The factors of 1 are 1
The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8
The factors of 35 are 1, 5, 7, 35
The HCF of 4,1,8,35 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 4,1,8,35
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 4
:1,2,4
Now, list down the factors of 1
:1
Now, list down the factors of 8
:1,2,4,8
Now, list down the factors of 35
:1,5,7,35
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,1,8,35 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,1,8,35 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 19,77,17,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24174612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/24174612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/19,1/77,8/17,35/972 is 1/24174612
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 19,77,17,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(19,77,17,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(19,77,17,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(19,77,17,972) = ( 19 × 77 × 17 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(19,77,17,972) = 24174612 / 1
LCM(19,77,17,972) = 24174612
