Use our free GCF of Fractions Calculator tool to compute the GCF of 7/54, 3/20, 4/77, 52/240 i.e 1/166320 easily. The following is the detailed procedure to determine the greatest common factor of fractions 7/54, 3/20, 4/77, 52/240.
Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 7/54,3/20,4/77,52/240
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 7/54,3/20,4/77,52/240, numerators are 7,3,4,52
Denominators are 54,20,77,240
The GCF of 7,3,4,52 is 1 .
LCM of 54,20,77,240 is 166320.
The greatest common factor of 7/54,3/20,4/77,52/240 = [GCF of 7,3,4,52]/[LCM of 54,20,77,240]= 1/166320
Therefore, the GCF of 7/54,3/20,4/77,52/240 is 1/166320.
To find the highest common factor of 7,3,4,52, we have to find the factors of both numbers and list the highest common factor.
The factors of 7 are 1, 7
The factors of 3 are 1, 3
The factors of 4 are 1, 2, 4

The HCF of 7,3,4,52 is 1.
Lets's calculate GCF of 7,3,4,52
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 7
:1,7
Now, list down the factors of 3
:1,3
Now, list down the factors of 4
:1,2,4
Now, list down the factors of 52
:1,2,4,13,26,52
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7,3,4,52 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7,3,4,52 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 54,20,77,240
2 | 54, 20, 77, 240 |
2 | 27, 10, 77, 120 |
3 | 27, 5, 77, 60 |
5 | 9, 5, 77, 20 |
9, 1, 77, 4 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 9 x 1 x 77 x 4 = 166320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/166320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7/54,3/20,4/77,52/240 is 1/166320
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 54,20,77,240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(54,20,77,240) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 120
GCF(54,20,77,240) x common factors =1 x 120 = 120
LCM(54,20,77,240) = ( 54 × 20 × 77 × 240 ) / 120
LCM(54,20,77,240) = 19958400 / 120
LCM(54,20,77,240) = 166320
