Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 4/40,6/33,9/94,21/646
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 4/40,6/33,9/94,21/646, numerators are 4,6,9,21
Denominators are 40,33,94,646
The GCF of 4,6,9,21 is 1 .
LCM of 40,33,94,646 is 20038920.
The greatest common factor of 4/40,6/33,9/94,21/646 = [GCF of 4,6,9,21]/[LCM of 40,33,94,646]= 1/20038920
Therefore, the GCF of 4/40,6/33,9/94,21/646 is 1/20038920.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4,6,9,21 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4,6,9,21 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,33,94,646
2 | 40, 33, 94, 646 |
20, 33, 47, 323 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 33 x 47 x 323 = 20038920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/20038920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4/40,6/33,9/94,21/646 is 1/20038920
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 40,33,94,646 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,33,94,646) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 4
GCF(40,33,94,646) x common factors =1 x 4 = 4
LCM(40,33,94,646) = ( 40 × 33 × 94 × 646 ) / 4
LCM(40,33,94,646) = 80155680 / 4
LCM(40,33,94,646) = 20038920
