Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 748/37,660/584
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 748,660
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 748,660 is 44 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 37,584 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 37,584 is 21608 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 748,660
2 | 748, 660 |
2 | 374, 330 |
11 | 187, 165 |
17, 15 |
∴ So the GCF of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 11 = 44

Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 748,660 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 748,660 is 44.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,584
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 21608
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 44/21608
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/37,660/584 is 44/21608
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 37,584 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,584) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,584) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,584) = ( 37 × 584 ) / 1
LCM(37,584) = 21608 / 1
LCM(37,584) = 21608
