Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 5198/26,2143/159
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 5198,2143
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 5198,2143 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 26,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 26,159 is 4134 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 5198,2143
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,23,46,113,226,2599,5198
Factors of 2143
List of positive integer factors of 2143 that divides 2143 without a remainder.
1,2143
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5198,2143 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5198,2143 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 26,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4134
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4134
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5198/26,2143/159 is 1/4134
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 26,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(26,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(26,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(26,159) = ( 26 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(26,159) = 4134 / 1
LCM(26,159) = 4134
