Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 1659/851,2248/132
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 1659,2248
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 1659,2248 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 851,132 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 851,132 is 112332 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 1659,2248
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,7,21,79,237,553,1659
Factors of 2248
List of positive integer factors of 2248 that divides 2248 without a remainder.
1,2,4,8,281,562,1124,2248
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 1659,2248 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1659,2248 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 851,132
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 112332
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/112332
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1659/851,2248/132 is 1/112332
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 851,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(851,132) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(851,132) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(851,132) = ( 851 × 132 ) / 1
LCM(851,132) = 112332 / 1
LCM(851,132) = 112332
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
