Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 249/365,132/159
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 249,132
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 249,132 is 3 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 365,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 365,159 is 58035 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 249,132
3 | 249, 132 |
83, 44 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 3 = 3

List of positive integer factors of 249 that divides 249 without a remainder.
1,3,83,249
Factors of 132
List of positive integer factors of 132 that divides 132 without a remainder.
1,2,3,4,6,11,12,22,33,44,66,132
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 249,132 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 249,132 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 365,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58035
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/58035
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 249/365,132/159 is 3/58035
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 365,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(365,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(365,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(365,159) = ( 365 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(365,159) = 58035 / 1
LCM(365,159) = 58035
