LCM of decimals calculator gives the LCM of Decimal numbers given 0.1, 0.172 i.e. 4.3 the smallest number that divides all of them exactly.
Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 0.1, 0.172 is 4.3.
LCM(0.1, 0.172) = 4.3
LCM of 0.1, 0.172
Enter two or more decimals separated by "commas"
Ex: 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4, 0.5, 0.6
Given numbers are 0.1,0.172. The highest number of digits after the decimal point in the given case is 3
Thus, in order to get rid of the decimal point we need to multiply them with 1000. On doing so, they are as follows
0.1 x 1000 = 100
0.172 x 1000 = 172
On finding the LCM of 100,172 we get the Least Common Multiple as 4300
Least Common Multiple 0.1,0.172 is 4.3
| 2 | 100, 172 |
| 2 | 50, 86 |
| 25, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 25 x 43 = 4300
Divide the result you got with the number you multiplied to make it as integer in the first step. In this case, we need to divide by 1000 as we used it to make the given numbers into integers.
On dividing the LCM 4300/1000 we get 4.3
Thus the Least Common Multiple of 0.1,0.172 is 4.3
Least Common Multiple of 100,172 with GCF Formula
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 100,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(100,172) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(100,172) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(100,172) = ( 100 × 172 ) / 4
LCM(100,172) = 17200 / 4
LCM(100,172) = 4300
