Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 9/21,1/81,3/44,37/852
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 9/21,1/81,3/44,37/852, numerators are 9,1,3,37
Denominators are 21,81,44,852
The GCF of 9,1,3,37 is 1 .
LCM of 21,81,44,852 is 1771308.
The greatest common factor of 9/21,1/81,3/44,37/852 = [GCF of 9,1,3,37]/[LCM of 21,81,44,852]= 1/1771308
Therefore, the GCF of 9/21,1/81,3/44,37/852 is 1/1771308.

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 9,1,3,37 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9,1,3,37 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 21,81,44,852
2 | 21, 81, 44, 852 |
2 | 21, 81, 22, 426 |
3 | 21, 81, 11, 213 |
7, 27, 11, 71 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 27 x 11 x 71 = 1771308
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1771308
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9/21,1/81,3/44,37/852 is 1/1771308
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 21,81,44,852 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(21,81,44,852) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 36
GCF(21,81,44,852) x common factors =1 x 36 = 36
LCM(21,81,44,852) = ( 21 × 81 × 44 × 852 ) / 36
LCM(21,81,44,852) = 63767088 / 36
LCM(21,81,44,852) = 1771308
