Abstract. Balancing numbers n and balancers r are originally
defined as the solution of the Diophantine equation 1+2+...+(n-1)=(n+1)+(n+2)+...+(n+r). If n is a balancing number, then 8n2+1 is a perfect square. Further, If n is a balancing number then the positive square root of 8n2+1 is called a Lucas-balancing number. These numbers can
be generated by the linear recurrences Bn+1=6Bn-Bn-1 and Cn+1=6Cn-Cn-1 where Bn and Cn are respectively denoted by the n-th balancing number and n-th Lucas-balancing number.
In this study, we establish some new identities for the common factors of both balancing and Lucas-balancing numbers.
