Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 656/123,323/159
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 656,323
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 656,323 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 123,159 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 123,159 is 6519 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 656,323
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,2,4,8,16,41,82,164,328,656
Factors of 323
List of positive integer factors of 323 that divides 323 without a remainder.
1,17,19,323
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 656,323 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 656,323 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 123,159
3 | 123, 159 |
41, 53 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 41 x 53 = 6519
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6519
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 656/123,323/159 is 1/6519
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 123,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,159) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,159) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(123,159) = ( 123 × 159 ) / 3
LCM(123,159) = 19557 / 3
LCM(123,159) = 6519
