Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 748/56,2863/960
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 748,2863
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 748,2863 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 56,960 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 56,960 is 6720 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 748,2863
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 2863
List of positive integer factors of 2863 that divides 2863 without a remainder.
1,7,409,2863
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 748,2863 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 748,2863 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 56,960
2 | 56, 960 |
2 | 28, 480 |
2 | 14, 240 |
7, 120 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 120 = 6720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/6720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/56,2863/960 is 1/6720
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 56,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(56,960) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(56,960) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(56,960) = ( 56 × 960 ) / 8
LCM(56,960) = 53760 / 8
LCM(56,960) = 6720
