Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 359/657,539/989
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 359,539
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 359,539 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 657,989 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 657,989 is 649773 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 359,539
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,359
Factors of 539
List of positive integer factors of 539 that divides 539 without a remainder.
1,7,11,49,77,539
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 359,539 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 359,539 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 657,989
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 649773
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/649773
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 359/657,539/989 is 1/649773
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 657,989 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(657,989) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(657,989) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(657,989) = ( 657 × 989 ) / 1
LCM(657,989) = 649773 / 1
LCM(657,989) = 649773
