Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 659/785,1246/262
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 659,1246
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 659,1246 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 785,262 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 785,262 is 205670 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 659,1246
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

List of positive integer factors of 659 that divides 659 without a remainder.
1,659
Factors of 1246
List of positive integer factors of 1246 that divides 1246 without a remainder.
1,2,7,14,89,178,623,1246
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 659,1246 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 659,1246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 785,262
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 205670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/205670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 659/785,1246/262 is 1/205670
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 785,262 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(785,262) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(785,262) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(785,262) = ( 785 × 262 ) / 1
LCM(785,262) = 205670 / 1
LCM(785,262) = 205670
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
